When a business moves to a new location you need to change the address of but sometimes when you try the Maps Suggest an edit option your edit is not applied. This could be because the business is a claimed business and if so then the business owner needs to make the change. However, if it is not a claimed business then you need to remove the old listing and create a new one using the following steps:
1 - On the existing business listing, on Maps select Suggest an edit
2 - On the Suggest an edit pop-up window choose Remove this place
3 - For the Reason for removal on the next screen select Moved to a new location
4 - Add the business at its new address using the Add a missing place option.
5 - You would here add a new photo(s) of the business at its new location.
@AdamGT Is this your assumption or is that exactly why our edits won’t be applied? I tried editing a KFC outlet that had moved to a new location several times. I even posted photos of banner placed outside the old outlet mentioning that the place has moved. Each time my edit was not applied. I think it was almost half a year before the place was finally moved. Imagine the loss of business to that outlet due to this.
I usually take a photo of the place with my ubication activated in my smartphone to give a valid support for the modification of the place that I want to correct on the maps. Most of time it works. I do not delet the place and create it again with its correct location. I didn’t know I could do that, @AdamGT
