A new verification method is being tested within Digital Phablet for lifting account suspensions in Google Merchant Center. Some merchants are now able to complete video verification, similar to the process used for confirming their Google Business Profiles.
This development was highlighted by Emmanuel Flossie through a LinkedIn post and an accompanying blog. The process involves recording a short, continuous video showcasing the business environment, including the storefront, storage areas, and packaging stations for popular products.
The verification involves submitting a video through a designated form, which requires capturing several key aspects:
– The storefront with any signage, such as the business name or logo, and the street address.
– Restricted-access areas like storage rooms, offices, or POS zones.
– The entire clip should be one unedited, uninterrupted recording lasting between three to five minutes.
A detailed explanation from Emmanuel provides additional insights, including a visual guide to the verification process. The video should comprehensively showcase the business environment without cuts or edits to ensure authenticity.
