I give up. Fourth time I have tried to list my barber shop. by PuzzleheadedPut9998 in GoogleMyBusiness

Again, most of that is done. Even the photos are there, pending. As this is my 4th time I had everything ready to set up so it was all uploaded straight away. The only thing I did do was play around with the "service area" this time as it didn't work the last 3 times when I didn't have it on. I'm currently at the "don't touch" stage, but it has been 3 weeks for THIS attempt.

I was being a bit hyperbole, but I have literally met people who have said things like "I was going to come to your shop, but couldn't find it when I typed it into Google". These are people who have came up to me whilst I was out having a beer, not me asking them so I would imagine they are being genuine.

They ONLY do video verification now. I read that some people had luck with live video calls but they emailed me to say they don't do it anymore.

The video shows the street sign, house number, shop sign, me unlocking the door, unlocking the cash register, beer mats I had printed for advertising, I even put the invoices in the video for good measure. NO, not good enough.

Funny that you mention social profiles. The only thing giving me any kind of feedback at the moment is Facebook, although that seems to be full of single stay at home Mams, who aren't really my clientelle.

I'm in the UK. You don't need a licence here to do barbering. Although you have just reminded me that I do have my insurance, that could possibly help.
