Verification
Also known as: GBP verification · verify listing
Verification is how Google confirms that a business is real and that the person managing the profile is authorised to do so. Until a profile is verified, it may not appear publicly or may be limited.
What this means for your profile
Verification is a gate, not a formality. The details you submit must match the business exactly to pass.
