Why Video Verification? (And Why It Matters)

Want to show up on Google and get found by local customers? You need to verify your business. Google’s new favorite way? Video verification. It’s fast, secure, and—let’s be honest—way less annoying than waiting for a postcard.

Heads up:
For some business types, video is now the only way to get verified. Don’t get stuck—get it done.

What’s the Difference? Video Recording vs. Live Video Call

  • Video Recording: You record a short video showing your business and upload it to Google.
  • Live Video Call: You hop on a live call with a Google rep and walk them through your business in real time.

Most businesses will use the video recording method. Here’s how to do it right.

Step-by-Step: How to Verify Your Business with Video

1. Log In to Your Google Business Profile

Go to Google Business and sign in. Don’t have an account? Create one—it’s free and takes two minutes.

2. Find the Verification Section

On your dashboard, look for “Verify Now” or “Verify your business.” Can’t find it? Click the “Info” tab on the left.

3. Choose “Verify by Video”

Google will show you your options. Pick “Verify by video” to get started.

Frequently asked questions

Why now?

Restaurants already trust Mobal to keep their listings accurate across Google and Apple. The website was the one part of their online presence still managed separately, with a different tool and a different login. Now it's part of the same system.

Why does this matter for my restaurant?

Every hour your site shows the wrong hours or an old menu is an hour a customer can be misled or turned away. And every evening spent editing a website is an evening away from the kitchen. Restaurant Websites removes both.

What can I add to my site?

Customers can buy gift cards directly on the site and book a table through an added widget like TableOnline. An ordering button links out to your provider, such as Wolt. Your location details, menu, hours, and special hours stay in sync with your Google and Apple listings.

Which languages does it support?

Choose from eight supported languages (English, Finnish, Swedish, Estonian, Russian, French, Spanish, and German) at launch and add translated versions of your site with a few clicks. More languages on request.

What if I want a custom design?

Restaurant Websites gives you a strong base built specifically for restaurants: the pages, layouts, and search foundations designed to help guests find and use your site. You can apply your own branding, colours, images, and pages on top.

Can I keep my domain if I move from another builder?

Yes. You hand over your domain and keep it.

What does it cost?

€29 per website per month, as an add-on. You can build and preview a site free in the demo before committing.
