The exact question was: I believe that you’ve decided not to create and “rent” GMBs (Google Business Profiles) any longer because of the uncertainty of the longevity of keeping them ranked, but if I wanted to set up a brand new GMB (Google Business Profile) to “rent” the phone calls can I use a forwarded phone number as the main (and only) business phone number without any problems from Google or do they need to be able to find it officially listed by the Phone Company as belonging to that business name? . . . . And if they do need to find it listed, how did you overcome this in the past? . . . Thanks a lot for your help.
