Google My Business now offering some businesses email-based verification
Now, you don't have to wait for the post card from Google or figure out how to get the phone verification through your phone tree. Some can verify their local listing via email.
Google seems to be allowing some business owners to verify their local listings within Google My Business through email verification.
Kiran C. Kumar posted a screen shot of this in action on Twitter. You can see Google here is offering Kiran three methods to verify the business. The first option is by emailing an email address for instant verification. The other two methods are typical, via phone or postal card.

That should help Google get more verified businesses in Google My Business/Google Maps.
