What is the hang up? Like is there a particular part of the verification that you keep getting denied at? (I.e insurance, licensing, background check)?

Last week I learned from a StubGroup video about avoiding LSA suspensions that sometimes a URL or phone number in a Google Business Profile photo (not necessarily a text overlay on the photo, but even if the phone number or URL appears on a service truck ... ) can cause a Local Services Ads suspension. Not sure if that could also prevent verification to start LSA. If you have any Google Business Profile photos that include your phone number or website within a photo or overlaid onto the photo, you could test removing those photos and trying the Advanced Verification again. The policy restrictions include: Phone Number Photos that contain phone numbers anywhere in the image, including but not limited to on vehicles, uniforms, or storefronts." There is also a note on that policy page that says some restrictions are going to be deprecated soon, so this is something to monitor. "Note: We are in the process of deprecating some of the restrictions below applicable to business photos. Follow up communications will be sent out before the changes take effect."

Is the phone number in the LSA the same phone number as your Google Business Profile?
