This Week in the Lab with SEO Mad Scientist

Final GBP Verification Test Variations

Welcome back, SEO mad Scientists. We missed you last week, but we are back this week with some exciting GBP test updates…

Let’s jump right into it with some final GBP verification test variations.

Over the last few weeks, we have been putting up some new test GBP listings and have uncovered some new changes in the verification process.

You should know from previous weeks that certain signals seem to be triggering phone, e-mail and even instant verifications…

We wanted to conduct just a few final tests to see if we could pinpoint the major factors a little bit more.

What we previously knew is the following seemed to help trigger instant verification:

  • Using a cell phone number that is at the location
  • Using a Gmail account that is logged into the Andoird cell phone being used
  • Physically be at the location and signed onto local wifi
  • Set business and a local address on maps that does not service clients at their location

After 10+ listings, these seemed to be the biggest factors. But after testing a bit more, we found that being signed into the local wifi, a factor in triggering instant verification was most likely not the main factor, as we put up 6 additional test listings while not on the local network.

Finally, this last week we put up 3 more listings testing a few more variations.

  • No website
  • Non cell phone number
  • Service area business

All 3 triggered instant, or phone verification, and the NUMBER ONE factor that remained constant is that we used a Gmail account that was connected to an Android phone that was currently at the location…

We used a Twilio number, we didn’t add a website and even set one to a service area, and all three were verified.

We aren’t providing any images or listing details because so far, all the ones we have got suspended 😛

Next week we will start digging into some of the tests we have started with these listings, starting off first with “How long does it take for a listing to ‘index’?”

We have put up quite a few listings now and have noticed some interesting “sandbox” situations that seem to impact how the GBP performs after first being launched. Join us next week for a GBP “indexation” time test, and until then,

As always…

Happy Testing!
