How do we verify my business if it's my home address

I am sure I'm not the first person who's had this problem , but I'm being asked to send through a video of my business Loca and business equipment but that's not the case for me my business is my laptop on my phone my business is registered to my home address so this is sort of where my company is based. And until I do this silly verification I'm unable to make any changes to my profile it's been almost impossible to get in touch with anybody from Google they're just sending me around and around in circles it's really frustrating so if anybody can help me with this issue I'd be really grateful.

Hi, User 7600453405769989196,
 
Google has a plan for a service area business. They want to be shown business related things a home owner would not have. Business software, business tool, business vehicles, uniforms, dedicated space for work related things.  A photographer would have lights camera and photoshop. 
 
Here is an article on it 
How to verify your business on Google
 
Step 1: Upload your video
  1. Plan your video. In one continuous recording, include:
    • Your current location. To show your Google Maps location, capture outside signs, like your street’s name, nearby businesses or the area around your business.
    • Business or equipment. To show that your business is at this Google Maps location, capture your operations. This can include things like stock for sale, branded equipment, marketing materials and tools you use to serve your customers.
    • Proof of management. To show that you’re authorised to represent your business, capture your access to employee-only items or areas. This includes things like a cash register, kitchen, storage room or non-sensitive business documents. You can also use your keys to open your facility.
  2. On your mobile device, go to your Business Profile. Learn how to find your profile.
    • Tip: If you start verification on a computer, to continue on your mobile device, you can scan a QR code.
  3. Tap Get verified  Capture video.
  4. Tap Start recording. Follow the steps and record your video.
  5. Tap Stop recording  Upload video.

My house is my business house address too where I have the business office, the van with the tools, and I provide the service to the customer home. The street plate name is missing out that why I recorded only the address number on the mailbox.
How can you help me to resolve this suspended issue?
