If you have a business that is based in the United States or Canada and it isn't verified on Google My Business, you can now get expedited verification from Google up until this Thursday. You just need to fill out this form.

Google said they "will manually review and verify your business within five business days, if eligible. You do not need to request a verification postcard." There is no fee. But this is open from 12/12/2016 until 12/15/2016, 11:59pm PT and only available to businesses with no more than one location in the U.S. and Canada. Also the business owner's email address must be used to create and verify the Google My Business listing. Once verified, additional "Managers" can be added to help update and manage the listing.

Google announced this on Google+, so go at it by filling out this form.
