Don’t have a random employee do this for you, using their Google account. To create a Google+ page for your business, you need to be logged into Google, like you would be in order to access a Gmail account.
WHERE AM I RIGHT NOW GOOGLE MAPS HOW TO
If you’ve already created a Google+ page for your business–and you remember how to access it–you can skip to the next section. If you’re not familiar with Google+ (“Google Plus”) already, it’s Google’s somewhat lackluster attempt at creating something like Facebook, where people can have personal pages, pages for businesses, brands, and famous people. If you don’t have a Google+ page, then you’re going to have to create one. The best way to change your business’s address is through Google+. Thankfully, there’s a better way to have direct control over your business’s details on Google Maps. So now Google is a bit more cautious about how they handle address changes. It used to be quite easy to make instant changes on Google Maps, but this created problems where people were sabotaging businesses on Google Maps by listing them under fake addresses, saying they were closed, changing business’s names so they couldn’t be found… you get the picture. They take your suggestions and cross reference them with other data, and then decide whether to make the changes. However, this isn’t the best way to fix the issue, because Google may or may not choose to use those edits. When you pull up your business on the desktop Google Maps site, so that you’ve got the little box with the name, address, “Directions” and “Save” buttons, etc., if you look very closely at the bottom of that box, you’ll see a grey line of italicized text that says “Suggest an edit.” If you click on that, you’ll pull up a menu that says “report a data problem” that will allow you to edit details including the business’s name, address, phone number, website, and so on. Well, technically, you can suggest an edit. And technically, you can edit business listings in Google Maps. The problem that most people run into with changing their address on Google maps is that they try and accomplish that by going to… Google Maps. If it’s not on Google, it might as well not exist. You’ve got to make changes to every single business listing you have on the Internet: Facebook, Yelp, Foursquare, YP.com, your own website… the list goes on.īut everyone knows that Google is priority number one.
And moving all of the physical attributes of your business is only half of the challenge. You’ll outgrow your old location, your needs will change, the rent will go too high–something will happen that prompts a change of venue.
“How do I fix my business’s address in Google and Google Maps?”Ĭhances are, at some point your business will move.
