As you know, you need to verify your business on Google My Business to be listed as a verified business in Google Maps results and the local pack nicely. You can do that via snail mail verification, phone verification, Google Search Console verification and more.

But now, Google is testing a video verification method – where you do a video call with a Googler who will verify you really exist.

There is a post about it in the Local Search Forums with a copy of the email sent to one local SEO:

Interesting method to verify a business exists, just look them in the eyes and see if you trust them. Or like it says, show them your office and make sure you have signage on your office and/or car.

It is a cool way to do it but it seems the Google Search Console or phone verification may be quicker.
