How to verify my profile?

To ensure that you are the owner of the profile you are adding and are consenting to your profile being publicly visible, you will temporarily need to put a specific code into your Google Maps profile name. This proves that you are in fact in control of the profile. Learn more about verification here.

  1. Go to your Google account settings (web or mobile).
  2. Change either your first or last name to include LGXYZ. Please note that this will change your public name for all Google products, including Google Maps.
  3. After your changes are in effect, click on Add to submit your profile.
  4. When your verification was successful, you can remove the code from your name again. Your profile will stay verified.

Please note that if your Local Guide profile has been added before, you will need to wait for the regular update of your profile data to get verified. This usually happens within five days.
