they have been successfully verified.

triggered

Directory Publishing Times
Phone-Verified Directories - phone-verified directories such as
Google +, Bing Local, Yahoo, and others will not publish data
without completing phone verification. Please allow two weeks
after completing phone/postcard verification for the correct
business information to publish
Non Phone-Verified Directories - directories that do not require
phone verification tend to publish successfully submitted data in
about one week’s time. *Note: Please allow about one week for
the correct business information to publish after you have
completed your phone verification appointment.
