Google Places in the UK, No Postcard

[PeterAlexLeigh]

I've been trying to register a business on Google Places now for a few months.

As part of the verification process, Google send a postcard to your business address so that you can enter the pin online and verify your address.

They also say that it takes up to 3 weeks, however this is now the 3rd time I've requested a pin and none have turned up so far. The latest one was requested well over 3 weeks ago.

Has anyone else had problems getting a local results postcard? It's driving me nuts!

Hey Shelly,

We're also from the UK and completed the verification a few months back. No problems getting the postcard through, it did take a good few weeks, though. (luckily I was in no rush)

If I were you I would double check your address (sounds silly, but you probably know what Royal Mail can be like).

You can chase up the verification by emailing their support team (you'll need to go through the tedious routine of troubleshooting Q&A before you eventually reach a contact form).

Best,
Anthony

Anthony,

Thanks. I'll see if I can dig out their contact form because it's just getting a bit silly now.

I've made sure that the address I've given is the most detailed possible, but still no joy!

Shelly, this page might help.

Best,
Anthony
