Re: "Claim this business?" How to

Hi @ThivHari if the place, on Google Maps, is shown with a link "Claim this business" that means that the business is not already claimed/verified.

To claim it, you should ask the business owner to log in with his Google account, and click the "Claim this business" link, follow the instructions and complete the verification process asking for a post card to be sent. (You can find full instructions here: https://support.google.com/business/answer/6310396?hl=en&ref_topic=6319777 )

If the business seems already verified (claimed and confirmed) by someone that is not the business owner, he should start a recovery process: you should ask about this in the proper support board https://www.en.advertisercommunity.com/t5/Google-My-Business/ct-p/GMB

 

Hope it helps

Re: "Claim this business?" How to

@ThivHari follow these steps to request ownership of a storefront business from the current listing owner:

  1. Go to business.google.com/add
  2. Enter the name and address of your business, then select it from the search results.
  3. Click Continue. You'll see a message indicating that someone else verified the listing. Otherwise, you can claim and verify the listing yourself.
  4. Click Request access and fill out the form.
  5. Click Submit. The current listing owner will receive an email asking them to get in touch with you, and you’ll receive a confirmation email.

Make sure the address is accurate becasue send the verification code via post.
