How to Fix “Google My Business Phone Number Not Showing” Issue (4 Working Methods)

Friends, is your mobile number not showing up on your Google My Business account? I know you’ve probably tried everything to get your contact number live on your Google Maps profile, but all your efforts are going to waste. Don’t worry! Today, through this article, I’m going to share some powerful tricks that, if followed correctly, will get your mobile number live on your Google My Business profile within just two weeks.

Not only that, but I’ll also focus on some mistakes you might have made, which could be the reason why Google is not publishing your mobile number on your Google My Business profile.

The same thing happened to me three years ago. My mobile number wasn’t going live on my GMB account either. I tried everything, but nothing worked. After 14–15 days of struggling, I finally figured out what mistake I had made and why Google wasn’t making my number live on my Google Maps profile.

I decided to experiment with a few steps—and you won’t believe it—within just 10 days, my mobile number was live on my GMB profile! Later, I used the same method for several clients whose mobile numbers weren’t getting published, and one by one, all their numbers started showing up on their Google Business Profiles.

Before revealing my trick, let’s first discuss the mistakes you might have made (or are about to make), which could be stopping Google from making your mobile number live on your Google Maps profile.

Why is Google Not Showing Your Mobile Number on Your Google My Business Profile?

 

• As of 2025, Google has become extremely advanced, and it does not want any fake profiles listed on Google My Business that could damage its credibility. Google Maps profiles represent real local businesses, and only verified listings appear on the platform. To prevent fake, suspicious, or fraudulent listings, Google thoroughly reviews every business before making it live.

• Recently, Google has started asking for video verification during the listing process. Without passing this step, your listing will not go live. However, not all listings require this verification.

• Just a few days ago, a client called me with the same issue—their mobile number wasn’t showing. When I asked when they created the account, they said, “just four days ago.” Then, I asked how old their mobile number and email ID were. They replied that their mobile number was 10 years old, and their email ID was 4–5 years old.

• Based on my analysis, Google does not trust very new email IDs or phone numbers because there is no prior data available about them in Google’s system.

Other possible reasons why Google might not be publishing your mobile number:

1. You may have previously signed up for Google My Business using the same email ID.
2. You might have used the same mobile number for a different Google My Business account before.
3. You could be creating a duplicate listing—maybe you have already listed the same business earlier and are now trying again.

If any of these situations apply to you, Google might not allow your mobile number to appear on your GMB profile.

How to Get Your Mobile Number Live on Your GMB Profile in 14 Days

 

Now, let me share three powerful tricks that will help you get your mobile number live on your Google My Business profile within two weeks.

1. Build a Strong Social Media Presence for Your Business

• First, create social media accounts that represent your business. This includes:

  • Facebook Business Page
  • Instagram Professional Business Page
  • LinkedIn Company Page
  • YouTube Channel
  • Twitter (X) Account
  • Pinterest Business Profile

• While setting up these profiles, make sure to maintain NAP consistency across all platforms.

  NAP stands for:

  • N – Name
  • A – Address
  • P – Phone Number

• Every time you register your business on any digital platform, ensure that your business name, address, and phone number are in the exact same format everywhere.

• If you’re listing your business on platforms like Justdial, Sulekha, IndiaMART, OLX, Quikr, and other business listing websites, make sure your NAP details remain the same across all listings.

• Once all your social media profiles are set up, update all details, including:

  • Business Name
  • Phone Number
  • Address
  • Website (if available)
  • Other Social Media Links
  • A Short Bio (2-3 lines about your business)

• After setting up these accounts, post daily (1-2 times).

• Your post titles should include relevant long-tail keywords, and at the end of each post, mention your business name and mobile number.

 

2. List Your Business on High-Authority Business Directories

 

• In addition to social media, list your business on the top 50 business listing websites.
• When your business gets listed on multiple high-DA platforms like Justdial, Sulekha, etc., Google receives multiple verification signals, making it more likely to publish your mobile number on your GMB profile.

I have successfully helped many businesses get their mobile numbers live on Google My Business using just these two tricks. If you follow these two steps correctly, your mobile number is highly likely to go live soon.

3. Use “Suggest an Edit” to Speed Up the Process

 

• This third trick is extremely powerful, but I strongly advise against using it for spamming, as it can sometimes have negative effects.
• Here’s what you do:
  1. Ask your friends and family members to search for your business on Google Maps.
  2. Once they open your Google Maps profile, tell them to click on the option called “Suggest an Edit.”
  3. They should suggest your correct mobile number (the one you want to publish).
  4. If 1–2 people suggest your number every day, Google receives multiple trust signals from different devices, which increases the chances of your number getting published.

However, please note that this trick does not always work.

But if you combine all three tricks together, your mobile number is almost guaranteed to go live on your Google My Business profile within a short time!

FAQ – Your Questions Answered

 

1. What is Google My Business?

 

Google My Business (GMB), also known as a Google Maps profile, is a free product by Google designed to help local businesses get listed on Google Maps. This allows users to easily search and find businesses in their city based on their needs.

2. My mobile number has not been live on my Google Maps account for over a month. What should I do?

 

If your mobile number is not showing up on your Google My Business profile, there could be several possible reasons:

• Make sure you have not previously created a GMB account with the same mobile number or email ID.
• If you have already used the same details for another Google My Business listing, Google may flag your listing as suspicious or even disable it, asking you to complete video verification or document verification before publishing your number.

 

3. Many business profiles get their mobile number live instantly, but mine has been pending for over two weeks. Why?

 

Some businesses already have existing online presence on major business directories and social media platforms where their business name, location, and phone number are already available. Because Google’s algorithm has prior data on these businesses, their details (including mobile numbers) go live much faster.

On the other hand, if your business is newly registered and does not have any prior data on the internet, Google takes extra time to verify its legitimacy.

To speed up the process, you should:

• Create social media pages for your business on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
• List your business on multiple free business directories (Justdial, IndiaMART, Sulekha, etc.).
• Post content daily and always include your GMB link, mobile number, and business name at the end of each post.
• Share your business in relevant Facebook groups to create additional online trust signals.

By following these steps consistently, your mobile number will start appearing on your Google Maps profile much faster.

4. I have two businesses in different locations. Can I use the same mobile number for both listings?

 

Yes! Google My Business allows you to add multiple business locations under the same account.

To do this:

1. Go to Google My Business and select “Add New Business.”
2. Follow the same process to list your second business.
3. You can either use the same mobile number or add a different one.

However, if you are listing a new business location, Google may ask for video verification.

For video verification, you must:

• Capture an outside view of your business location.
• Show your business signage (board with your business name) clearly in the video.
• Keep the video length between 30 to 90 seconds and upload it through the GMB dashboard.

After submitting the video, Google will verify your business and publish your listing. If your mobile number does not appear instantly, don’t worry! Follow the four tricks mentioned earlier:

1. Create social media profiles and maintain consistency.
2. List your business on all major business directories.
3. Post content daily mentioning your business details.
4. Use the “Suggest an Edit” feature and ask your friends/family to submit your mobile number on your Google listing.

By following these steps, your mobile number will start appearing on your Google Maps profile soon.
