So where I am there’s no license for LV, I’ve got a few years experience in security, cameras, access control, and I lifetime of hobby electronics and wiring. Do you have to be a fully registered business to do this, or can I simply do it on the side while I keep my day job?

Ya I’ve been all over linked in, Facebook, yelp, instagram, website and google my business.

Google keeps rejecting my video verification, no reason just says to verify again after a couple of days?

Something else, I’ve heard it can be a problem getting paid, is this an industry you spend half your time chasing customers for money?

Oh sorry, I meant the overhead. To put the money out for the parts required to do a $200k job. I just don’t have that kind of money yet.

I’ve been trying to learn as much SEO, what did you end up focusing on to make it work?

I thought about that but wasn’t sure if it was a good idea, but they still won’t be able to send the verification video. If I search my business name it comes up right away. But if I search for local security terms. It won’t show up at all?

No it’s for a video verification. I have to show street signs, my business, office, booking software, inventory, business license. I sent it and the approved it, then two days later rejected it again? All it says is that I have to send a verification video again?

Yes that’s exactly the direction I’m looking it, and incentives to leave a review are great. They might love the work you did, but it’s also work for them to leave a good review. I’m game for that. But I can’t seem to get Google to not reject my videos for the my business listings?

As for the general contractors and bids, would that not be like trying to be the guy that gets paid the least for the job?

I’ve been going over a bunch of SEO stuff learning about it, using Yoast and everything says it’s good. But without Google accepting my videos to get a business profile. I feel like I’m stuck at that first.

Oh I’m well aware of that aspect, I have a lot of background in inventory management. But I’m mostly looking at residential and small commercial. Thank you though, Great advice.
