What are Changes In Status Names?
Google has enhanced the accuracy of status names on the locations page and Google Updates card. On the locations and Google Updates pages, Google will display ‘‘verified ‘’ and ‘’unverified’’ rather than ‘’published’’ and ‘’unpublished’’ as they clearly explain the probable listing states.
One important thing to note is that a listing which is being published isn’t the same as the one which is being verified. In case the listing is closed, suspended or review is pending, it may be verified but not published. If a listing is on Google, but their connection hasn’t been verified to the business yet, that business will be published but not verified. You can know more over here.
