Proving you are you (the verification)

To prevent fake business listings, Google requires VALIDATION of your new business listing and you MUST BE verified by Google.

Once we submit your new business listing, you'll have to verify it before it appears in Google Places. This is to prove you are the owner of the business, and the information we've submitted is accurate.

Google will send documentation (a postcard) in regular postal mail containing your personal pin number.  (Like activiating a new credit card)
 
Once you receive this verification pin number you will supply the pin to us and we will complete the verification process.

When will I display in the top positions?

While we will make every effort to attain best position of your Business Profile, Google will not guarantee any actual position on Google Places.

Other Factors

A well optimized profile, reviews and numerous other components determine your position.   Based off this information we recommend highly that you encourage your customers to leave reviews on your Google Places profile as often as you can. Review incentive programs are extremely poular to acheive this goal. Those reviews are extremely valuable as they help qualify your company as a reputable business. This will also increase your visibility in Google Places and assist you in attaining a higher position.
