If you’ve tried to set up your Google Business Profile recently, you might have discovered that Google now requires a video verification — and it’s not always simple. Many small businesses get stuck or rejected because their address looks residential, or their video doesn’t meet Google’s requirements.

That’s why Salt Space Coworking offers Google Business Verification Video Support as part of our Virtual Office service. We provide the location, signage, and guidance you need to record a compliant video that gets your Brisbane business verified — fast.

🎥 Why Google Business Now Requires Video Verification

Google introduced the video verification process to confirm that every listed business actually operates at the address shown on Maps. This change helps reduce fake listings, but it also means more business owners struggle to verify when:

  • They work from home and don’t want to show their residential property.
  • They use a PO Box or mailbox service, which Google doesn’t accept.
  • They don’t have signage or an accessible workspace visible on video.

That’s where Salt Space comes in. Our staffed New Farm address gives you a real business location Google can verify — and our team helps you meet every requirement before you hit record.

🔧 How Google Business Video Verification Works (Step by Step)

  1. Log in to your Google Business Profile and choose “Verify by Video”.
  2. Show your business location: Walk around the workspace and film the street signage or reception area.
  3. Show proof of operation: Capture your tools, computer setup, or branding that proves your business operates there.
  4. Show business branding: Film your logo, business card, or website open on a device.
  5. Submit the video: Google reviews it, usually within 24–48 hours.

For many home-based businesses, this process isn’t possible — but with a Virtual Office at Salt Space, you can film directly in our coworking environment with approved signage and staff support.

⭐ How Salt Space Helps You Pass Google Video Verification

Our Google Business Verification Video Support is included with every Virtual Office membership. Here’s how it works:

  • 📋 We provide a verification guide: You’ll receive our exclusive checklist explaining exactly what to show and say in your video.
  • 🏢 We prepare a verification desk: Our staff sets up signage, workspace, and printed materials that clearly identify your business.
  • 🤝 We assist during filming: You can book a short session where our team helps you meet all Google requirements before submission.
  • 🔁 We support re-verification: If Google requests a new video, we’ll help you record again — at no extra charge.

This hands-on process has helped hundreds of Brisbane businesses successfully appear on Google Maps without revealing their home address.

🏠 Why a Home Address Usually Fails Google Verification

Even if you run a legitimate business from home, Google may flag your address as residential and reject your verification. Common reasons include:

  • 🚫 No visible signage or proof of business activity.
  • 🚫 Apartment complexes or gated properties.
  • 🚫 Inconsistent address details across ASIC, ABN, and Google.

Using a verified Virtual Office address in New Farm avoids all of these issues. You’ll get a real street address for ASIC, ABN, and Google — and hands-on help with the video verification process.
