6. Select the "Business Video" option.

7. Before you start recording the video, read the guidelines below:

Your video recording shouldn’t include any sensitive information like bank account numbers, tax or identification numbers, or any other private information, or show other people’s faces.

Take the time to plan your video. Your video should meet these requirements:

  • Unedited, unique, and one continuous recording without breaks.
  • Show the location of your business. Capture the official street and number signs, nearby businesses, or the area around your business that shows your business is at the correct Google Maps location.
  • For businesses with a physical location, show evidence that your business exists. Capture the storefront, showroom, or business signage.
  • For service providers, record equipment or other items related to your business. Capture the products for sale, branded equipment, marketing materials, or tools you use to serve your customers.
  • Demonstrate proof of management. You can show that you’re authorized to represent your business by recording employee-only items or areas. Record yourself opening a cash register, accessing a point-of-sale system, unlocking the staff room, kitchen, or storage room.
