Verify Your Listings: Action Required
What is verification? • Once your order has been submitted, you will receive an email asking you
to complete phone verification with the subject line “Action Required”.
• As part of the fulfillment process, Google+, Bing Local, Yahoo Local, and others require that you verify your business phone number.
Why is phone verification important? • Phone-verified directories will not publish your business information until
they have been successfully verified.
Phone Verification Requirements • In order to verify your listings you need to be at a computer and able to
answer your phone line.

Directory Publishing Times Phone-Verified Directories - phone-verified directories such as
Google +, Bing Local, Yahoo, and others will not publish data without completing phone verification. Please allow two weeks after completing phone/postcard verification for the correct business information to publish
Non Phone-Verified Directories - directories that do not require
phone verification tend to publish successfully submitted data in about one week’s time. *Note: Please allow about one week for the correct business information to publish after you have completed your phone verification appointment.
