Google Business Listing video verification is a method that allows business owners to verify their listings through a video recorded while logged into their Google app on their phone. During the recording, they must showcase their physical location, demonstrate their services or products, and provide identification to confirm their ownership. This method is one of several verification processes Google uses to ensure the accuracy and legitimacy of business information on Google.

In its infancy, Google Places as it was originally called, had a relatively easy verification process, from receiving a code on your phone to getting a postcard sent to your business address. Some businesses still use these methods, but the process can become complicated if you need to verify using a ‘Business video’.

Your website speed has never been as important as it is now.   It really does affect everything! 

Google's own research shows that the longer a user has to wait for a page to load, the more chance they will leave your site, with the probability of bounce increasing by 32% as page load time goes from 1 second to 3 seconds.  That is a lot of potential customers leaving a website that is loading slowly.  Website speed is also a crucial part of Google's ranking algorithm.  

 If your page load times are greater than 2.5 seconds, there is every chance that you can get an improvement.
