What is the difference between a claimed and a verified Google Business Profile (GBP) listing?

Last updated on February 23rd, 2022

The listing on the left has information such as a phone number and opening hours. This data is sourced automatically by Google and may not be accurate.

It can only be updated by claiming and verifying the location or through user suggestions.

Claiming the location means that the location will be added to your GBP account.

However, to be able to update the listing you must verify the location. Google will send a verification code to the business upon request.
