OFFLINE MARKETING

Hi everyone.

Is there a way to tell whether or not a google plus local page is claimed/verified by the business?

On the old google places pages it would show whether or not it was owner verified.

I am not seeing anything like that now.

Thanks!!!

If it is just an address and phone number with no photos, description, hours of operation, etc then 99% of the time it's not claimed. If somebody has claimed it, they are at least going to add something to it.

Thanks

Thanks BPSphx!!

I agree but was looking for a way to know for sure. Especially if there are photos etc as it is my understanding that some unclaimed/verified sites will still have photos etc.

Thanks

Yes I discovered a way to tell for sure and have blogged about it as well as posting in detail
at my local saerch forum. One of my members posted it here and we discussed in this thread.

The "verified" badge actually started getting rolled out gradually during the last few days. See here.

I think those badges are only for listings that have been merged with the g+ page.

I also want to highly recommend Linda's forum to anyone serious about G+ Local. Great community.
