Are you having trouble receiving the verification postcard from your Google Business Profile?  Sometimes a listing will make you reverify if you make a change to it.

Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many business owners have faced the same issue, but there are solutions.

Request Another Postcard Verification

If it’s the first time you’ve requested a postcard, and it hasn’t arrived, request a second one. Sometimes, the postcard may have gotten lost in the mail or didn’t get delivered for some reason.

By requesting a second postcard, you increase your chances of receiving it.
