Google Business Profile Verification Process

While it’s unknown whether the admin has ties to North Vista Secondary School, do note that any Google user can become the owner of a place by adding missing places.

Granted, they’ll need to get past the verification process first.

Google currently offers five ways for businesses to verify the authenticity of their claim.

For example, for the video recording option, you have to show yourself entering the backend of the business to show proof of management.

For post cards, you’ll need to have access to mail receiving point to input the verification code to process the claim application.

Regardless of the bad reviews, it seems that not all students or alumni disliked their time at the school.

Back in October 2022, a couple returned to North Vista Secondary School for their pre-wedding shoot.

I’ll dare say that these scenes wouldn’t look out of place in Taiwanese movies such as Our Times.

Unsuprisingly, the video was well-received, garnering over 14k likes and nearly 1.2k shares.
