Get verification state

Returns the location's Voice of Merchant state plus its verification history. `voiceOfMerchantState.hasVoiceOfMerchant` tells you whether the listing is verified and published; when it is false, `verify` reports whether a verification is already pending. Each entry in `verifications` has a `state` of PENDING, COMPLETED, or FAILED.

Start a verification

Starts a verification for the location. This is a mutating action: depending on `method`, Google mails a postcard, places a call, or sends an SMS/email to the business. Submit the resulting code with POST /gmb-verifications/{verificationId}/complete. Use POST /gmb-verifications/options first to discover which methods are eligible.

languageCode*string
context?

ServiceBusinessContext. Required for service-area businesses (must include the service address).
