Google Maps / Google My Business

I am a business person. Whenever I travel to a new country visiting a new customer, I find it difficult somehow to locate the exact place where my customer’s office or factory is located. If Google Map can build up most company locations and allow a search by “company name”, it will be great for international business travelers. Moreover, it will help people doing international business to read review of such business especially there are so many fraud cases.

On the other hand, even reviews could be fake. There should be a mechanism to address this issue. How to avoid “fake” reviews on Google Map? It really worth brainstorming.

@taiwanrio A wonderful suggestion.

Fake reviews and unwanted posting of Photos and Videos NOT RELATED TO THE BUSINESS has to be addressed.

It looks like you are suggesting an idea. Do you know that there is Idea Exchange?

Local Guides like you and me are contributing to Google Maps. Next time when you see a missing place like a company you can add it to Google Maps. You can take a look at the Add a missing place to the map article, to learn more about it.

Also, I would like to refer you to this post here on how you can report a Local Guide who spams on Google Maps.

By the way, I relabeled your post to How-tos, as it fits better there.
