What you need for bulk verification
You bulk 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 on the account is verified, all eligible profiles in the business group are as well. The profiles can't be owned by someone else. Learn more about business groups.
Step 1: Make sure your account can be verified
Important: Uploading a spreadsheet does not send a verification request. Learn how send a request.
Your account can be verified 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 request verification for service-area 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.
Step 2: Submit for bulk verification
- On your computer, sign in to Business Profile Manager.
