It\u2019s quite ironic that an internet giant like Google relied on old school \u201cPostcard verification\u201d process till now. In order to verify your business, you had to send a request via Google My Business and then wait for 14 days to receive the postcard. In many cases, the postcard arrived on time, but in some cases, it didn\u2019t arrive at all. So the whole process was slow & troublesome, to say the least.<\/p>\n
