An additional method has been added to Google’s new update on its help document to verify your business.

Google updated its verification process to verify your firm in Google Business Profiles that include Google “may require you to verify by more than one method,” which could be related to some bogus business profiles being created using one of the verification methods.

The verification methods of google currently offer phone or text, email, video recording, live video call, and postcard methods.

The said update speculated by some users that this will lead to a stricter verification process to reduce fake locations on Google Maps since Google has yet to comment on the sudden change.
