Pass Google's video verification on the first try.

Google now asks most small businesses to film a walkthrough video. You only get a few tries, and each review can take days. Rehearse with us first, so the real one goes through.

Questions

Do you guarantee Google will verify me?

No. Google makes the decision. We help you avoid the common reasons videos get rejected.

I work from home and travel to customers. Does this work for me?

Yes. Service-area businesses are who this is built for. The shot list shows how to prove your business without a storefront.

Do I upload my video to Google through you?

No. Google only accepts a video recorded live in its own app. You rehearse with us, then record the real one there.

My profile is already suspended. Can you help?

Early access will include an appeal kit: an evidence checklist and a draft appeal. Tell us your situation when you sign up.

Is this from Google?

No. FirstTry is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Google.
