Hi @saeid-mrf

I know that Google Business Profile is not available in your country.

I was able to confirm the phone number you suggested on the website.

I suggested the edit and it was not rejected, but it went pending. Ups. 1 minute later the status changed to rejected. Sorry, I could not help you better.

Maybe @Amiran has some tricks up his sleeves.

All the best

Morten

This is a strange

Now it says pending again. Fingers crossed.

Oi, @saeid-mrf

Fiz um teste utilizando o validador de números do Google Voice,

A validação está indicando que está faltando um número para este telefone, país Irã.

Por questões de segurança o validador não permite capturas de tela, mas a mensagem apresentado é: “The selected number is not valid for the destination xxxx xxxx within Iran”

Será isso?

Sucesso

@gmapas

The validator filter did not block my edit:

Oi, @MortenCopenhagen

Obrigado por me mencionar.

Eu utilizei o filtro validador do Google Voice, uma ferramenta do aplicativo “Voice” que verifica a integridade de um número de telefone discado.

Não tentei editar a ficha do local indicado.

Sucesso

Oh, sorry, @gmapas

I misunderstood. I thought incorrectly that you were referring to some data entry validation in Google Maps.

Cheers

Thanks for your help, maybe I have to try another phone number. Do know any tricks for approval?

Thanks a lot :pray: :pray:

the phone haven’t added yet, so I try to add another phone number. Actually I try to add a word to my location name but it didn’t work too! 1 month ago I fixed the name, but competitors change it again :expressionless:

@saeid-mrf

It would be very helpful if you would use the tagging tool when replying to someone here on Connect. Type @ followed by the username. Type slowly. Then we get an e-mail notification and you are more likely to get a prompt reply. Just hitting Reply does not ensure we get notified by email.

It is unclear who you are responding to in your latest replies.

Cheers

Hello @saeid-mrf

Thanks to dear @MortenCopenhagen for tagging me and sorry for responding a little bit late, but connecting and having a stable connection to Connect is a real problem here because of the limitations!

Indeed “Pending” is not a problem @saeid-mrf

This is clearly stated in the article Why is my edit status “Pending” or “Not Applied”?

When we have pending edits, we should simply wait till the result, and doing it repetitively only makes the process harder and harder. The smart system needs to check if an edit is true or not and sometimes this can last several weeks, or even several months!

Although, if our edit is in Pending status for more than a month, we can ask for a human review in the Google Maps forum by preparing good evidence of the change and also the screenshot of our edit email.

So about this phone number, you should wait. And I highly recommend avoiding any other edits on this place and letting data be stable so the system has time to check the changes.

Or if it is more than a month (what I don’t think based on your other comments) you can ask in the forum for respective change. Unfortunately, I also can not suggest an edit right now because you have pending edit on it and it is not true to do a repetitive edit. If you were told me firsthand, then I was able to do more than now.

And about the name, what you’re going to add to the name, is totally wrong because it is only one of the products you sell and you’re adding it as a keyword! This is against the guidelines to add descriptions to the name of places. Only a real name without any descriptions could add to the map.

So the current name is true. Although it is also a bit descriptive from my perspective because “Industrial Commerce” is not part of the real name and this phrase even is not visible on the home page of your website, if the company is known by such a phrase, it sounds normal and doesn’t contain too many additional phrases.

Based on this, note that your change 1 month ago was also wrong and if any user changed it to the current name, this change was true. Besides the smart system, good users also check the map regularly and correct wrong data on it. So do not relate all changes to the rivals.

First, consider if an edit was true based on the guidelines of Google Maps or not. Then if the edit was wrong (for example trying to remove a correct and real business from its correct location) it raises the doubt that it could be the spam edits of a badly behaved rival. But not all edits.

Hi @gmapas

Google Voice doesn’t offer services to Iran, so it is pretty normal if you couldn’t go forward in the verification process by an Iranian phone number!

Thanks @Amiran . I already knew about the guidelines, but competitors had used this keyword befor, so I had done too! after while they change location name. this is totaly wron, and you are right. I don’t do that anymore. What should I do to submit this location that when somebody type “توری فایبر گلاس” my location appear in the Google map and Google search result?

Olá, @Amiran

Obrigado por me mencionar.

Exato, o Google, Voice não está disponível no Irã, somente EUA e Canadá, porém o aplicativo faz ligações telefônicas para qualquer telefone no mundo, é como se fosse um número de telefone habitual com diversas ferramentas.

Uma dessas ferramentas é o validador de números. Esse validador "explica automaticamente" as regras de numeração local que varia de país para país sem a necessidade de ter conhecimento das regras locais. Ela faz uma espécie de “check -up” do número digitado.

Com relação ao número indicado na inicial o validador ofereceu uma mensagem de erro. Ao tentar com outros números de telefones de outros negócios no Irã, como esse aqui, o validador disse que o número estava correto e completou a ligação (gratuita) sem problemas.

O mesmo eu não pude experimentar no número indicado na inicial.

Sucesso

Note that one/or more wrong data on the Maps is not the reason to add more wrong data to it! But that wrong data should be corrected. I just checked some of them at a glance and most were correct except a few ones that I corrected the names. later, I’ll check this more accurately.

Appearing on the search results by preferred keywords is something unrelated to Google Maps and it is related to the SEO of a website. Google Maps is only for guiding people in the real world to real places by their real names. So you should correctly define parameters in your website.

On the other hand, the smart system of Google reads data from the website and relates respective terms to each other. But one important factor about Google Maps is having accurate data based on the rules and reality and also the stability of the data.

Changing information about a place, from time to time make it hard for the system to relate data because there are lots of places all over the world and it takes time to do this for all. Changing data will break this process to start from the first.

So, right now just be sure about using your preferred keywords well on your website and lets the system have time to read data from your website. And if you do so, be sure that in a few weeks/months, it will be visible by preferred keywords on the Maps, too without the need to add keywords directly to the name on the Maps.

Thanks for clarifying @gmapas

You’re totally right.

I don’t know how it can not verify this number when it is available, but I’ll check more accurately later.

I’m happy to see your passion for doing your bests @saeid-mrf

Here on Connect you can write about places you go, foods, travel and many more to discuss about them with local guides from all over the world. This is a good article in this case.

On Google Maps, you can help for accurate info about your around places and what I suggest most is adding landline number for business those haven’t any contact way on the map right now.

But before any thing, I suggest put enough time, for example several weeks, to learn best ways of contributing. @MortenCopenhagen has lots of informative articles here those are really valuable for users who want to have a poweful start
