How to add moving sweet and fast food carts(businesses) to maps?

Google Maps tips & tricks
1

In many small towns, there are some very famous sweet carts and fast food carts which start at a particular place and heads towards a particular point and stop there to sell their sweets. I would like to know how to add such carts in google maps as they are small businesses listing on google maps will be very helpful for them.

Hi @Harsha_Reddy

Thanks for asking. The short and correct answer is that you should not add moving food stalls and trucks to Google Maps. If you take a look at this official google help page: https://support.google.com/local-guides/answer/2642650

You will see that “businesses without a permanent location” should not be added to Google Maps. The same goes for “Seasonal businesses without a permanent, recurring location”.

So Non-fixed locations and Non-permanent listings should not be on Google Maps.

I understand your good intentions for adding such smaller businesses.

You can always suggest an idea to make it possible in the Idea Exchange here on Connect.

Cheers

Hello @Harsha_Reddy

Local guides can’t add a business which doesn’t have a fixed address.

However, a business owner of food truck etc can do so through Google My Business.
