How do you editor or add to the images of your citys Google maps page

Google search results for Genoa Arkansas show incorrect photos. These are not photos of the place at all. How do I add or edit information?

Hi @Copelin

Normally images shown under a city are selected by a computer AI from all the photos uploaded to places inside the city. Local guides should never add photos to a place that doesn’t have a “Add a photo/video” link or button. Cities don’t.

You can flag the images as “Wrong place”,

I have flagged it several times the AI is getting it mixed up with Genoa Italy images is there any way to suggest the idea to allow local guides to edit or add to it like a location

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.

I know the flagging is not very effective.

From experience, it is not very likely Google will change this because we bring it up. Sorry.

Hallo, @Copelin

The issue is not in the AI.

The photos were uploaded to Genoa - Arkansas by some user through a workaround. I’ve just reported the first one, as he’s spamming maps with plagiarized contents like this one

To respond to your question, yes, there is a workaround for adding photos to a city, but as this is a violation of the program ( You can’t add photos or videos to addresses or coordinates.), I will not share it. Sorry about that.

In any case thanks for reporting the issue, I’ve reported the users just now
