Google keeps rejecting your verification video? Before you record another one, check this.

If you run a service business from home, you don’t necessarily need a shopfront to have a Google Business Profile if you’re eligible as a service-area business.

But Google still needs to understand three things:

📍 Where your business operates
🛠️ That the business actually exists
🔑 That you’re authorised to manage it

So if you’re a plumber, cleaner, landscaper, mobile beautician or another service-area business, simply filming your laptop inside your house probably isn’t going to give Google much evidence to work with.

Instead, think of your Google verification video as a little tour.

1. Establish the location
Show things that help demonstrate where the business operates, such as a street sign, house number or recognisable surroundings.

2. Show the actual business
Tools, equipment, products, branded clothing, business cards, workspace or a business vehicle can all help demonstrate that there’s a genuine business operating there.

3. Show that you manage it
Demonstrate your access to the business and the equipment or assets associated with it.

And one really important detail:

Google wants the verification video to be one continuous, unedited recording.

Don’t think of it as creating content.

Think:

Here’s where I operate.
Here’s my business.
Here’s proof it’s mine.

Make it easy for Google to understand what it’s looking at.

And if you’ve tried all of this and your Google Business Profile still won’t verify, we can help.

We currently have a 100% success rate helping the legitimate businesses we’ve supported get verified.

Legitimate is important. We won’t help businesses trying to work around Google’s rules.

But if your business is genuine and you’re simply stuck in Google’s verification process, DM us VERIFY and we’ll take a look.

Save this before you record your next verification video - or send it to a business owner who’s currently stuck in the process.

Your business today might look completely different from the business your Google photos are showing.

New products.
Better equipment.
A newly refurbished space.
Your latest projects.
A whole new range of services.

But when was the last time you actually updated the photographs on your Google Business Profile?

Because when someone finds you on Google Search or Google Maps, they’re not just looking at your business name.
They’re deciding whether they trust you enough to get in touch.

Imagine you’re looking for a kitchen fitter.
One business has a handful of photographs from two years ago.
The other shows beautiful kitchens they’ve recently completed, close-ups of the finished work and the people behind the business.
Which one gives you a clearer idea of what to expect?

And this doesn’t just apply to trades.
If you run a shop, show your latest products.
If you own a beauty salon, show your space, new treatments and examples of your work (with permission).
If you run a gym, show your facilities, team and what it’s actually like to train there.

Your Google Business Profile should represent the business you run TODAY.

Here’s something to do this week:
Open your Google Business Profile and look through your photographs as though you’re a potential customer who’s never heard of you.
Are they current? Do they show what you actually offer? Would they make you want to enquire?
If the answer is no, you know what to do.

And if you’ve got photographs from a recent project or something new you’re proud of, that’s a great place to start.

Save this as your reminder to give your Google Business Profile a refresh.

Google Business Profile suspended? Don’t create another profile.

That’s one of the biggest mistakes we see legitimate local businesses make when their Google Business Profile has been suspended or they’re struggling to get verified.

A suspension doesn’t automatically mean Google thinks your business is fake.

Something about the profile has triggered an issue that needs resolving - and the first job is understanding what.

Before changing everything, check:

✓ Is your business name accurate?
✓ Is the address correct?
✓ Have you chosen an appropriate business category?
✓ Does the profile accurately reflect how your business operates?
✓ If you travel to customers rather than serving them at your address, is the profile set up appropriately as a service-area business?

If you believe the suspension is wrong, Google has an appeals process where you can provide evidence that your business is legitimate.

And this bit matters:

Make sure the information you’re giving Google is consistent with the evidence you’re providing.

Business documentation, licences and utility bills may all be relevant depending on your situation.

Most importantly, don’t panic and create another Google Business Profile while you’re trying to resolve the original one.

We’ve helped legitimate businesses through Google verification issues and currently have a 100% success rate with the legitimate businesses we’ve supported through the verification process.

Legitimate matters.

We won’t help fake businesses or businesses trying to work around Google’s rules.

But if you run a genuine business and you’re stuck in Google’s verification process, this is something we can help with.

DM us VERIFY and we’ll take a look.

Save this in case your Google Business Profile ever gets suspended - and send it to a business owner who’s currently going round in circles with Google.

What an incredible achievement! 🏔️👏

The final push is almost here, and we’ll be cheering them on every step of the way. After all the hard work, determination and dedication that has gone into this journey, tomorrow’s summit sunrise is going to be something truly special. 🌅

You’ve finished the job. Your customer is delighted.
And then you move straight on to the next one.

Sound familiar?

Here’s one of the simplest things local businesses can do to help future customers find them, trust them and feel confident getting in touch:

Ask your happy customers for a Google review while the experience is still fresh.

Whether you’re a tradesperson, run a beauty salon, own a shop or provide a professional service, your reviews give potential customers reassurance that other people have already used your business and had a great experience.

And when someone finds several businesses offering the same thing locally, that social proof can be a big part of deciding who they contact.
But don’t just ask people to “leave a review sometime”.
Make it easy.

Send them your direct Google review link. Thank them for their business. And ask whether they’d be happy to share their experience.

You don’t need a complicated system to start. You just need to make it part of what you do when you’ve finished a job.

Here’s your task for today:
Think of three happy customers you’ve worked with recently.
Have you asked them for a review?

If not, there’s your starting point.
And if you’ve already got some lovely reviews sitting on your Google Business Profile, make sure you’re responding to them too.

Save this for the next time you finish a job.

We couldn’t be prouder of Izzy and the whole team. 💜🏔️

After everything they’ve already faced, they are now just one sleep away from their summit attempt on 25th September, a date that carries such special meaning for Purple Heart Wishes.

The strength, determination and resilience they’re showing is incredible. We’re all behind you, Izzy keep going, keep pushing, and know that everyone back home is cheering you on every step of the way.

So close now… what an achievement already. 🏔️✨

🏔️💜 Kilimanjaro update from Izzy! 💜🏔️

We’ve had a few incredible photos through from Izzy as she continues her climb up Mount Kilimanjaro in support of Purple Heart Wishes

In her own words, it’s been tough… but absolutely incredible! The views, the people, the experience and the challenge itself have already made it something she’ll never forget.

There are still some seriously tough miles ahead, but she’s keeping that smile on her face and taking it one step at a time. 💪⛰️

A huge thank you again to everyone who has donated, supported, sponsored and sent messages of encouragement ,it really does mean so much. 💜

Keep going, Izzy! The summit is getting closer! 🏔️🙌

Local business owner: is your Google Business Profile live - but still not bringing you calls or enquiries?

Showing up when someone searches your business name isn’t the same as being found by new customers searching for your service in their area.

And being visible on Google Maps is only half the job.

Once someone finds your business, your reviews, photographs, services and information all need to give them a clear reason to choose you.

In this video, Izzy shares the first three things we check when a Google Business Profile isn’t generating enquiries.

If your profile feels more like an online listing than a source of new business, DM us AUDIT.

We’ll send you the details of our free Google Visibility Review and look at what could be holding your profile back.
