What you need to verify
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 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.
Step 1: Make sure you can verify
Important: Uploading a spreadsheet doesn’t send a verification request. Learn how to send a request.
You can verify if:
- Your spreadsheet has 10 or more profiles from the same business. Agencies with more than one business in one account can’t bulk verify.
- Duplicate, suspended, or disabled profiles don’t count towards the 10 Business Profile minimum. Understand your profile status.
- For individual businesses, learn how to verify your business on Google.
- Your spreadsheet has all the profiles you manage. Do not leave out any businesses. We need to find evidence of the size of your business.
- Your business isn’t a service-area business. Learn how to get started with a Business Profile for your service-area business.
- 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 or 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 guidelines for representing your business and specific error messages.
Step 2: Submit for verification
Important: If you can’t find the “Verifications” tab on Business Profile Manager, you might not have enough eligible profiles for bulk verification. Please verify your profile individually instead.
- On your computer, sign in to Business Profile Manager.
- On the left, select Verifications
Chain
Start.
- Fill out the form.

After you request verification, we’ll review the account details. If we need more info, we’ll contact you. Once bulk verification is successful, you will receive a confirmation via email.
