Our Virtual Office for Google Business Verification:

23. Can I use a Virtual Office address to verify my business on Google?

Yes, you can—if the Virtual Office meets Google’s requirements.

24. What is the best address format for Google and USPS compliance?

To stay compliant with USPS regulations, your Advertised Mailing Address should include “PMB#” (e.g., Suite 9, PMB#25). However, for Google Business Profile verification, it’s better to use a business-style format like “Unit 9-25”. This format appears more professional and increases the chance of successful Google verification. Using both address formats helps your business meet both USPS and Google’s requirements.

25. Does Google accept Hybrid Businesses for local map listings?

Yes, Google accepts Hybrid Businesses—those that serve customers at both a physical location and off-site.

27. Can I verify my business on Google with a virtual office address?

Bee Ridge Virtual Offices offers a Virtual Office Add-On Package designed to help businesses meet Google’s Storefront or Hybrid business criteria.

Google often uses video verification for Service Area Businesses (SABs), Storefront Businesses (SBs), and Hybrid Businesses (HBs). Each requires a different set of proof, such as signage, workspace access, and service area information. At Bee Ridge Virtual Offices, we provide address support, signage, and documentation to help you meet Google’s verification standards—no matter your business type.
