      Started working with a company recently that had a Google My Business with an old address. I went ahead and claimed it and verified it with the postcard, but it still shows the old address if search. How long will that be?

        Hi there

        According to Google:

        We'll send a postcard with a verification code to the business address you provided. Make sure your address complies with our address entry guidelines.

        Computer

        If you're returning to verify after creating your page, visit Google My Business, choose the business you'd like to verify, and click Verify now.

        1. On the postcard request screen, make sure your address is displayed accurately. You can also add an Optional contact name to help your postcard reach you.
        2. _Click Send postcard. _
        3. _Check the mail for your postcard--it should arrive in one to two weeks. _
        4. When you receive your postcard, enter your verification code into your dashboard.

        This article can help with missing or lost verification codes.

        Does the PIN happen to be out of date or expired? You can contact Google either via phone, chat, or email (upper right hand corner).

        Hope this helps! Good luck!

          I would give it a week+. They have to review the changes.

            Hey there!

            Normally, a change of address on a verified Google+ Local page should happen quickly. If it's been a week, I'd suggest phoning Google (https://support.google.com/business/?hl=en&rd=1#topic=4539639). I would also recommend that you use Moz Check Listing to be sure there isn't more than one Google+ Local page in the mix here.

            • Google requires that businesses that serve there customers at their customers' locations must hide its address. However, this causes an notice in Moz Local advising that the Google listing is inconsistent. Is that something to just ignore?
