Hello Everyone
I am trying to add my village on Google Maps. It is not currently showing with a name. I want to add it so that people can easily find it when searching.
I tried the “Add place” option in the Maps app, but I am not sure which category is best for a village/area. Can you please guide me on the correct steps to add a village or locality? Also, how long does it usually take for Google to approve such edits?

Hi @mahroof
Villages can not be added by Local Guides. In stead you need to hunt for some official government Maps showing the name, location and it’s border. If that is not available it is not worth pursuing.
With the documentation make a post in the Google Maps Support Community and request assistance to get your village added to the Map.
Best of luck

In addition to the Correct answer given to you by @MortenCopenhagen , I want to suggest you to read Google Maps explained: The Onion Theory - What we can / can’t edit in Google Maps to better understand who can edit what in Google Maps
