Ah, verification. The part where Google sends you a postcard in the mail. Yes, a physical, paper postcard. It’s 2026, and we’re still waiting for mail like it’s 1995. But this is how Google knows you actually own that building, so don’t whine. It usually arrives in 5–10 business days.
If you’re impatient (hello, fellow human), you can sometimes verify by phone or email—but only if Google decides you’re trustworthy. For most people, it’s a postcard with a code. When it arrives, log back in, punch in the code, and boom! Your new location is live.
Pro tip: Don’t throw away the postcard until you’ve entered the code. I’ve done that. It’s embarrassing. Google will judge you silently.
