Mark Simpson explains Google's current requirement for a physical check-in address to list vacation rentals on Maps, and hosts verify by postcard. Google may remove these listings soon, but Simpson predicts the company will eventually offer official support because vacation rentals matter to its ecosystem.
Google they really don't like having vacation rental properties on their maps because their ruling Is and their Ts and Cs state that you have to have a physical check in to be listed on the property. So what hosts have been doing is they've been still being listing on Google business listing and they've just been having a postcard sent to the vacation rental and they just then go and collect it and then when that postcard comes in it's got a verification code on you put that in and off you go. You can pretty much see it. How it will work is that Google will start removing all vacation rentals, cottages, those types of un from their Google business map. Now you before you start going oh this is so unfair they are going to start listing Google vacation rentals because they know how important this is to their ecosystem and because again what is going to happen eventually is that everybody will have a free link to their website so they can book direct with you in the Google map.
