If your business has more than 10 locations, Yext can help set up your account for bulk verification. With bulk verification, all of your listings will be published and verified as soon as you update or add them through Yext.
To submit a request for bulk verification:
- Confirm with your Yext Contact that your business is eligible. The eligibility rules can be found below.
- Download the verification checklist that is attached at the bottom of this page.
- Send the completed checklist to your Implementation Manager or Yext Support.
- If you are currently in the Implementation process, send this to your Implementation Manager. If you have already completed Implementation, send this form to Yext support.
- Depending on the results of the form, your Implementation Manager, or Yext Support will provide suggestions to help increase the chances of your request getting approved by Google.
Once complete, your Implementation Manager or Yext Support will submit an official request to Google on your behalf. Google will then make a final call on eligibility for bulk verification.
