Congrats!! You won the GBP lottery!

1. You can create the profile for them, but you may not be able to verify it for them. Google may require video verification, and at that point the realtor would need to log in and verify the profile with a live video. You may get another verification method, like email or phone, but those are...

Are these all for the same business? Are any of these accounts bulk verified? Hard to say without knowing more specifics. What types of edits are you making?

We typically do full CallRail set up for clients.

We use CallRail for many clients, and they have a texting feature.

Interesting! Mention that in the GBP forum thread and provide the Case IDs - I would think Google will want to dive into why support is saying that. The original chat feature from Google is depreciated, but this new WhatsApp and SMS chat number is brand new.

Wow, good to know! I meant they are not visible on the profile.

If the appeal is denied in the tool, you can submit a second appeal (Request additional review of a denied appeal). Only submit this after reviewing the guidelines for representing your business on Google as well as reviewing the guidelines on how to fix a suspended profile here. Make sure your...

Does Alabama require businesses to have a physical address in the state? Many states do. If so, you could use that address for verification purposes and hide the address when setting up the Google Business Profile. Google may request video verification, in which case the technician will need to...

Support would be the only ones who can fix this - how many times have you contacted them and what do they say? You can post on the GBP community forum to ask a PE to escalate the problem, if support truly cannot help. Just save your case IDs from when you contacted support.

Hey there! You're not doing it wrong per se, but I recommend decreasing the radius you used in that screenshot significantly. I suggest using a radius between 5 and 10 miles. This is likely the maximum range at which one GBP can rank in such a competitive market like LA, especially for a...
