How to verify 10 or more profiles

Important:

• You may need to confirm your business existence with video verification. An authorized representative must be at your business profile location. To verify your business with video verification, you can upload a video recording or host a live video call.
• To update hotel information, you must use the API and dashboard. Learn about My Business Lodging API.
• Your account doesn't need to be verified to run Google Ads location extensions. Learn about extensions.
• Only business owners or authorized representatives may verify a business. Review our guidelines.

You verify at the account level. You can verify 2 types of accounts:

• An individual user account: When your account is verified, all eligible profiles in your account not claimed by someone else are verified.
• Business groups: When the main owner is verified, all eligible profiles in the group are as well. The profiles can't be owned by someone else. Learn more about business groups.

Important: The profiles added to your account must accurately reflect the size of your business. You may be required to provide evidence if your chain size differs from the number of profiles in your account.

You can verify if:

• Your spreadsheet has 10 or more profiles from the same business. Agencies with more than one business with one account can’t bulk verify.
  • Duplicate, suspended, or disabled profiles don’t count towards the 10 Business Profile minimum. Understand your profile status.
  • Learn how to request verification for individual businesses.
• Your spreadsheet has all the profiles you manage. Don’t leave out any businesses.
• Your business isn’t a service-area business. Learn how to verify your businesses.
• A verified account doesn’t already exist. Your organizations should create a business group account to share management of profiles.  Learn how to create a business group / business account.
  • If you add a profile to your account that’s been verified by someone else, you need to request access to manage it. Learn how to request access.
• Your account has no errors. Learn more about issues with verification and specific error messages.
