Google wants a video of my business.
Google chooses how it checks a new profile, and for a business that goes out to its customers it often asks for a short video, recorded there and then in the Business Profile on your phone. Google says to show where you work from, with a street sign or a landmark nearby; that the business is real, with the tools, equipment or van you work with; and that it is yours to run, with something only you could get at, such as a document with the business name on it. Google says it has to be one take, with no breaks or edits, at least 30 seconds long — and that its check can take up to five working days.
