Google "Get Verified Faster" Number?

[Cordell Crowley]

One of my team members was trying to verify a client's GBP this afternoon, and saw this. I've never seen this before, and I don't know where Google is pulling this number from via "trusted sources" or why it's supposedly labeled as being any faster.

We didn't do it because it wasn't a number the client recognized, but I'm curious if anyone else has seen this and/or what the deal is with why Google auto-generated it on this profile.

"trust sources" yet the business owner has no idea where that number came from, classic Google mess lol.

I tried calling the number cuz I was curious and it said "the number is not in service". WTF Google??

Is it possible it's an old tracking number they abandoned at some point?

Luckily you have these other options or else you'd be at the mercy of support to get this fixed.
