google places postcard verification

I read a guide here on BHW I think. He had a great trick for gaming google places. It was based on the differences in how Google looks at addresses vs how the post office does. I wish I could remember the specifics but if you search here you can probably find it. Basically it had to do with adding an extra line to the address field with wrong info. Google only looks at the first line, but the post office will look at the last line. Ie you make the first line as where you want to be on the map and the second line your actual address and the post office will always get it right when it comes delivery time. Again this is not a clear explanation of the technique, you should really find it for yourself. I looked for a minute but couldnt find it. It may be worth your time though.

Is this trick still working ?
 
not that trick doesnt work anymore. I have some methods that do work though.

Yes On google business Listing ,you get to qualify one postcard verification also.
 
Does anyone know if there is an additional verification step once you get the postcard?


Like do they call after you input the verification code to make sure everything matches?

Nah, the card is all they require.

For belt and braces, just buy a voip number with the local area code for your town and redirect it to your main number. IMHO it helps for SEO purposes anyway and makes your customers think you're in town.
 
A simple way to get the address needed for the verification is to get a private maildrop. Some of the ones promoted online may not even charge a fee upfront to set one up (USAbox et al) or may offer scanning of mail received so you can get the verifying number without waiting for the card to be forwarded to your real address.
