Other methods of verification

[jvaquino]

When you create a new GBP, the only method available for verification is via postcard. In what cases the other verification will be available?

Other verification methods listed in the help section are:

• Phone or text
• Email
• Video recording
• Live video call

@jvaquino, the phone and text options are also extremely common. You will probably run into them soon. Google seems more likely to offer those when you're adding additional locations to a business you've already verified by postcard, or if you're using an account with many clients' GBP pages in it and a track record of few problems, but that's just my speculation.

The video options are not nearly as common. As in I've never been given the option (though sometimes my clients are). I've got no idea what triggers those as options.
