How to Film Google Business Profile Video Verification at Salt Space Coworking

You attend Salt Space in person and record the verification video yourself using your own phone while logged in to your Google Business Profile. We prepare:

• A reserved desk with signage in your business name
• Access card to the building
• Your logo at the entrance and at your reserved desk/li>
• A simple checklist of the shots Google requires

This gives you full control and is the most straightforward option for most businesses.

If you can’t attend in person or don’t have a representative in Brisbane, Salt Space can record the video onsite on your behalf. To do this, add our dedicated verification email as a Manager:

Steps to add us as a Manager in Google Business Profile:

1. Go to https://business.google.com
2. Select your business profile
3. Open Settings
4. Click Managers
5. Click Add / Invite new manager
6. Enter verification@saltspace.com.au
7. Select Manager
8. Click Invite

⚠️ Please remove our Manager access after video verification filming is complete.

If preferred, you may provide temporary login access to your Google Business Profile so we can complete the recording on your behalf from Salt Space.

• We only use access to complete video verification
• You can change your password immediately afterward
• This option is entirely up to you — not required

⚠️Please change your password after verification is complete to remove our access.

Open Google Maps or the Google app → tap your profile photo → Your Business → select your business → tap Get Verified → choose Video. If prompted, allow camera and microphone access.

Start outside: show the Brunswick Street sign and a brief pan of the surrounding street (avoid filming faces). Then frame the entrance to Salt Space.

Clearly capture the “888 Brunswick St” references on the Salt Space entrance sign and mailbox. Google must be able to read the address on-screen.

We will place your logo at the entrance and above the mailbox. Film your business name and logo so Google sees your brand physically present at this address.

Film yourself using the Salt Space access card to unlock the main door. You can close the door before filming to capture this step smoothly.

Inside, film your reserved desk with temporary signage in your business name. Optionally, show your laptop open to your website or business dashboard to demonstrate active operations.

Tap Upload and keep the app open until you see confirmation. Most reviews take around 24–48 hours. If Google rejects your video, see the FAQs below and re-record any missing or unclear shots.

Google uses video verification to confirm that your business is real, operating at the address you’ve provided, and has legitimate access to the premises. It helps prevent spam listings and protects customers from misleading or fake locations.

Google doesn’t publish approval rates, but when all required elements are filmed clearly (street context, 888 Brunswick Street signage, and your business name/logo displayed at the address), most verifications are approved without issue. The final decision is made solely by Google.

If Google requests a re-record due to issues with these three required elements, we can re-record for you at no additional charge.

Yes. Rejections can occur when Google cannot clearly see one of the three key proof elements:

• Street and exterior context (Brunswick Street + surrounding area)
• Readable “888 Brunswick Street” signage and mailbox
• Your business name/logo clearly displayed at the address

Technical issues during filming can also cause rejection.

If the rejection relates to these required elements, we can re-record the footage for you at no additional charge.

No. The $100 fee covers the service of filming and submitting the video on your behalf. It is not tied to the outcome, and Google makes the final verification decision.

However, if Google requests a re-record because one of the three main requirements (street context, address signage, or your business logo at the address) was unclear, we can re-record these elements for you at no extra cost.

Yes. If you cannot attend in person, someone physically present at Salt Space can film the video for you. You can either add Salt Space as a Manager using verification@saltspace.com.au or provide temporary login access so we can record and submit the video on your behalf.

Yes, as long as the address represents a genuine business location with real access and signage. Salt Space provides a Virtual Office in New Farm, Brisbane specifically set up for this, with signage, desk space, and a clear video route that meets Google’s requirements.

Rejections usually occur when key proof is missing or unclear. Common issues include:

• No clear shot of the street and surrounding area
• Address “888 Brunswick Street” not visible or readable
• No signage or logo linking the address to your business name
• No proof of access (door opening) or workspace

You can re-film the video making sure each of these elements is clearly captured. Salt Space can help you plan the shots so everything is covered.

Most video verifications are reviewed within 24–48 hours, but times can vary depending on Google’s review queue. You’ll receive a notification in your Google Business Profile once a decision is made.

In many cases, video verification requires someone to be physically onsite. If you can’t visit yourself, Salt Space can record the video on your behalf using Manager access or temporary login details, provided the video still clearly shows your business name, signage, and access to the address.
