Please explain! Why did google skipped our verifcation.

Hi guys,


We recently had a GMB with address showing verified instantly. Like no post card, SMS, phone call or Video verification.


FYI

• The business is home renovation.
• The office is the down town, in a building with 100+ other offices
• We operate out of a suite.
• We offer in office consult and obviously work in peoples house (SAB)
• We had 1 year old websites, strong NAP, and citation building,
• We also use google workspace for our domain and emails and all google services. We don’t use gmail, as it get get locked very easily.

My question is, is this legit? Or google bots are tripping and might come back later with a verification request?
Please share you 2 cents

We've had that happen a few times, but mostly in the past. I think the last time that happened was probably 2+ years ago.

The only thing I could chalk it up to was that the website was established; it had directory links, and the addresses all matched. Then, we created the GBP via our MCC or Agency account. My guess is that the Agency Account gave us a little more credibility when we created the account on the user's behalf.

But stranger things have happened Take the win and move forward. If they come back for verification, you'll knock that out of the park too!
