Need Advice & Hear Latest Methods For GMB Verification

• having a video chat with someone at Google - you have to identify yourself as the employee of the company, etc.;
• sometimes it is enough to send pictures for them about your workspace (like your company's sign on the office building or in the elevator);
• or last time when I was creating a GMB the verification code did not arrive so I contacted them - they asked me one question related to my service and after getting the proper answer enabled it.

Basically the verification depends on the Google staff too, it can be subjective. There are various options:

• having a video chat with someone at Google - you have to identify yourself as the employee of the company, etc.;
• sometimes it is enough to send pictures for them about your workspace (like your company's sign on the office building or in the elevator);
• or last time when I was creating a GMB the verification code did not arrive so I contacted them - they asked me one question related to my service and after getting the proper answer enabled it.

So it really depends on Google. But these can be solved (with fake employment contract or knowing the business, etc).

As for the good and successful GMB for lead generation use images, update the GMB regularly, respond for the reviewers, etc.

Good luck!

Thanks for your answer!

But I was wondering about GMB verification services the most. Because I will probably build 100s of GMBs. Not to mention, my physical location won't be there but for the local SEO purposes I need to get the address in the specific city. I was wondering how do they verificate it. I know there are alternate methods to postcard verification but... I just want to know how to build them at scale with great success rate.

There are verified googlers (it could be you or me if you have enough background on Google maps, like persons who shares photographs etc) who can verify your business with a simple code they send you via email.
I guess they do it like this.

There are various methods involved in verifying the GMB's without postcard. It's too precious to be shared on a public forum. Even if it's shared, it will be spammed to the death and banned by google.
