About to do my sisters GMB for her cake & sweets small business is there a way of getting approved right off the bat?

[milangroup]

The reason i ask is because for my wifes realtor business I had to get a DBA, business, card and extra logo at the entrance of her office. For my sister I want to submit all this right off the bat to get approved

How can I submit this right when I apply for her GMB ? Is there a way?

At a minimum, I would suggest the following before creating the GBP:

1. Website for the business that you can link the GBP to
2. Create a handful of citations
3. Business registration, license etc

This is her GMP I am trying to set up, it will be ran from home for now but eventually if it grows big enough my mom and her are talking about renting a place but for now we need to keep costs low.

Hey Colan thanks a lot I really appreciate it, I will send this to her so she can start gettign these citations setup. After she has them all set up what should we do next ? Contact google to see if they verify her GMB without doing the verification video?

If you get the video verification option you have to use that.
