Unable to verify my google local listing page by phone verification.

Hi,

I have created the Google local listing page for my business site. I want to verify it using the phone verification but there is only a option - "verify by postcard". Is there no option to verify it using a phone number? Help needed.

I have verified quite a few listings and I am allowed to verify most by phone number, but not all.  I'm pretty sure it's based on some sort of 'trust' factor. I did have a phone option appear after I waited over a month fcard post card to no avail. I would say take your only option and verify by post card

It might also be worth it to ask this question on the Google help forums or actually try and call their support line. They might be able to explain it to you.

Hi Sangeetac,

With the new dashboard, I believe most/all verifications are now postcard only. So, simply follow through with postcard verification and then you'll be able to complete the process by entering the postcard pin number into the dash. Takes a bit longer, because you have to wait for the postcard, but typically only 1-2 weeks these days.
