We took a break from our current test schedule after finding out some new aspects to GBP verifications. Last week we had verified some listings with our cell phone number and being on the local wifi. This week we have some new tests and results to report, so lets jump right into it… First, a quick follow up on our previous “poster” ranking test, for listing that listed “posters” as a service and we added a review for someone competing about their poster purchase. The only references we have to “poster” is in the services and the review. The impacts are clear to see… Poster References on Listing: New/Current Rankings for “Posters”: We saw initial ranking improvement early on but are now showing in the top three and continue to move upward. This could be a sign of the importance of age for these signals, or Google is possibly increasing the weight on these two signals (services and reviews) We don’t know for sure but what does seem clear is having services listed on your listing and then having people add reviews on your listing referencing the exact services you list, increases listing relevance for those services… Now onto the verifications! We got some new listings to show you that we didn’t even need local wifi! In fact, one is at a WalMart and the other is at a bowling ally… Here is the quick rundown of the details: - We where at the location with a cell phone and computer - Location services turned on both devices - Using phone wifi as a hotspot for internet - Added GBP from GBP dashboard - Used cell phone number as business phone number - Added non local website (phone number is on website but wasn’t previously) First Verification Quick Video for Reference: [( Second Verification: Quick Video for Reference: [( After all our testing we have noticed that non-SABs that list an address on maps seem to have the best chance at triggering phone or instant verification. (or better chance of getting verified at all) We speculate that this may be due to the fact that Googles main concern when listing a “location” on Google is that they can confirm that “you” (your contact details) are actually at the address and accessible from the location. Also, SABs are more prone to spam due to the fact that lead gens use a service area and fake address to gain exposure with Google Maps This is why we believe that using the cell phone number while at the location, and on the computer, triggers a phone verify. Google knows the phone is at that location so they just need to confirm you actually have access to it. That seems to currently be enough to convince Google to verify the listing.
