Still waiting for your GMB postcard?

Your postcard hasn't arrived - or you don't know how to start the verification process.

And you're missing out on new patients finding you because your Google My Business listing is not verified.

The good news? If it's been 14 days since you last requested a postcard, you're eligible to request alternative verification.

The other good news? If you're unsure how to claim your GMB profile you're in good hands.  GMB is one of our areas of expertise and we can help.

Kath, Launceston Womens Health

I engaged Maz to help me communicate with Google to get the verification code I was having trouble getting, and then a once-off GMB optimisation of my page. She was wonderful, and in a very short time had transformed my GMB page with content, photos, and all the bells and whistles needed to raise our profile. I am very glad I engaged her services and thoroughly recommend you do the same.

Google My Business Verification - The Basics

The Postcard

Once you complete the verification process your postcard should arrive in 6 days (although it usually takes 2-3 weeks). Each time you request a new postcard, the one you requested previously becomes obsolete.

14 days

This is the magic number of days you must wait before GMB Support will help you with an alternative verification method.

Don't update your profile

Once you've requested a postcard, don't be tempted to make any more edits to your profile. Making edits may void the postcard that is already on its way.

Google My Business Verification

When your Google My Business profile is unverified, your practice has much less visibility in Google and you don’t have the ability to manage your Google reviews. As a result, you are likely to be losing patients to your competitors.

If you're unsure how to claim your GMB listing, we can take care of that for you. It's typically a 3 week process.

If you've already claimed your listing, once it’s been 14 days since you requested a verification postcard you are eligible to request alternative verification. That’s where we can help.

Our verification service helps eliminate frustration and saves you time. We know the exact evidence Google needs to verify your profile and we’ll take care of communicating this to their support team. In most cases, we can get your profile verified within a matter of days.

FAQ:

Why hasn't my postcard arrived?

The 3 most common reasons: 

  • Postal delays
  • Went to the wrong address
  • It's sitting in someone's pile of mail

How can I bypass the postcard verification process?

If you're a well established business, you may be lucky enough to be offered the option to verify by phone or email.

If these options do not appear when you set up your listing, you will have to wait for the postcard.

Is this something I can do myself?

Yes, you sure can. Visit https://support.google.com/business/gethelp to get started.

What do you do to get my business verified?

We work with you to gather adequate evidence to prove that your business is where you say it is.

We also collate other information to support your request for alternative verification.

GMB Support may also email us for further clarification once they have received our request.

The benefit of outsourcing this is you don't have to waste time gathering the information (apart from sending us photos and sharing your contact info).

We take care of the rest for one low fee.

Maz and the local MD team designed my practice website from the ground up and I can highly recommend them. They created something clean, modern and far more sophisticated than I had imagined and it has really given our practice a boost. During the design Maz was always available to talk and able to translate my ideas into finished product. She was also almost always right when her opinion differed from mine! In the end the patients love the new site and so do all the doctors and staff. Thanks.

Maz and the team have been very proactive with suggestions around our new website for directaccessvasectomy. They set out the steps clearly and although Covid has been a real pain we look forward to the next steps around some SEO updates together.

Our two large Medical Centre's have been working with Maz for many years now. I absolutely cannot fault her professionalism, promptness and skill. Our website is kept looking great, any changes (and they have been constant over Covid!) are dealt with at lightning speed and there are often improvements suggested which make a huge difference. Great job Maz (and colleague Andrea). We really appreciate everything you do for us and highly recommend Local MD to anyone else.

"Covid arrived and my patient numbers dropped dramatically. It was clear that I needed to market my clinic a lot better if my clinic was to survive and preferably prosper in the future.Maz showed me how my website was largely "invisible" to google and my potential client base. It turned out that most of my posts weren't working.Maz was incredibly helpful in understanding my business and coming up with an attractive new website that engaged with my patients.The feedback from my patients has been terrific.I absolutely recommend her services for anyone looking to build a new website or optimise their GMB profile."
