How Google My Business or Google+ Page Help you to Get More Visitors?
Google My Business started with Google+ page where they allowed user to verify their business. They used to give automated telephonic call by asking PIN number. After doing such verification method they came to know that it created a lot of duplicated and fraud Google+ pages and then they change telephonic verification to address verification by providing PIN number through post card. It not only helped Google team to verify businesses but also helped business owners to gain ownership of business. Google my business team sends a packet enclosing 6 digit pin which is used to verify business. You will get a verified tag on business page or a Google+ page once verified. You also need to verify mobile number before verifying it through PIN number sent by packet.
