Customer Participation
A collaborative process
New Profile Setup requires customer participation throughout setup and verification. You'll provide accurate business information, supporting documentation, and complete verification steps that Google requires directly from the business owner. We guide each step, but certain actions, decisions, and verification methods are controlled by Google and the business.
