Google Guaranteed, Google Screened and Google Verified, explained
The old green Google Guaranteed and Google Screened badges are gone. Here is what replaced them, what the checks involve for your type of business and how to get through verification.

Six products, each built for one moment in how a customer finds and hires a local business. What each one does, who it is for, where it stands today and how to pick your starting point.
