How to verify a service based business (Painter)

[science4me]

I am currently managing a profile for a service based business (Painter) but they ask me to verify by Video.

How do I verify it especially as the Painter is using his house address with no signage or sign
Thank you.

Start at the street and head inside to the office or workstation. Show the vehicle if it's branded and the painting supplies.

You could invest in a sign - even if it's temporary.

Did you create the profile or was it done by the business owner?

You don’t need a sign if you are hiding the address. This will confuse the system trying to verify the video.

How do we know they are hiding the address? You can be a SAB and still have an address (unless I read the documents wrong):

But I did also read that if you are the owner of a business and create your own profile you don't always need to verify.

The OP asked about verifying the GBP without a sign. Plus some cities have laws governing signs.

I created the profile for the business owner, different locations.
