Easy(er) ways for agencies to reverify GBP listings for multi-location clients?

[daniowens]

Hi there! I've never used the Google Business Profile (GBP) Manager Agency Dashboard before. We have a multi-location client that we manage GBP for.

I was wondering, if a GBP listing becomes unverified in the Agency Account, can the agency reverify the listing right in the dashboard quickly and easily? Or do we have to reverify via the traditional methods offered (phone, video, etc.)?

I've been reading everything I can find on this topic but haven't found a clear answer yet. Just wondering if there are any verification benefits to the Agency Accounts.

I also saw that you can bulk verify using an Individual Account or Business Group but it seems like it wouldn't make sense in cases where you get one or two listings that need to reverify each month (as they were already verified in the past). Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'd appreciate any thoughts or experiences with this. Thanks!

Hey @daniowens - This doesn't answer all your questions but it's a start:

An agency account does not have any special tools for verifying Business Profiles. You have to verify them with the same, "traditional" methods.

If they have more than 10 locations, have them work on becoming bulk verified. Then they can instantly verify all locations.

Hi Jason! Long-time no talk. Thank you for the tip. It's much appreciated!

The team says we already have Bulk Verification status but in their experience, it doesn't allow for re-verifying listings instantly. We have a few listings each month that get un-verified that we need to re-verify, and I was looking to see if there were any other options for doing this in an easier way (other that traditional verification methods).

Just wondering if you happen to have any other thoughts on this, if not no worries. Thanks!
