If anyone could help me with this issue. My actual gmb address is correct and all my submissions as well but the address on google maps data is incorrect is there a way to get that corrected ? Also does that effect your ranking on local pack ?
Hi @saadkhan18
If you are referring to your own business, this is a question not related to the Local Guides program.
A GMB member has a different procedure to update the information on his own business.
To fix your your own business please read: Add or edit your business address
Its not about my GMB I’m asking about incorrect information in google maps. I have tried reporting it but it’s not changing or updating the correct address.
Hey @saadkhan18 ,
Thanks for reaching out!
I just wanted to let you know that I will move your post to our How-tos section, where Local Guides ask questions related to the program and express their doubts.
Can you provide more information about the address you are trying to edit? Is there a way to provide screenshot?
Hello @saadkhan18
Glad you brought this ahead on Local Guides Connect.
If you’re trying to change the address of your business on GMB , that won’t actually change the address of the place on Google Maps.
However if you want to edit some info about a place on Google Maps,
You can select Suggest an Edit on Google Maps when you visit the Place and have the proper co-ordinates/ proper location of the place you wanna change.
Attaching the pictures for your clearity on the same
Once you suggest an Edit,Google will review the changes and keep you posted on your email.

Hi @saadkhan18
Can you please add more details.
Report an error on the map give you a brief indication:
Tell us about an address or marker error
- On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Maps app
- Search for an address or touch and hold a spot on the map to drop a pin.
- At the bottom, tap the address.
- Tap Suggest an edit.
The easier way is to suggest an edit from the business listings.
In there you can fix the the address and/or the pin location of the business.
BTW, if the information cannot be verified, your edit may remain in pending status, or not applied. For more information about the verification process, please read: Why is my edit status “Pending” or “Not Applied”?

- Select the place.
- Find Suggest an Edit button preferably it is below some rows of address. Or you can click on Right Hand Side Top Corner there you will find 3 dotted points click on it and then suggest edit.
- Select address or which where blocks you would like to edit and then hit submit.

Hi @saadkhan18
According to me this may happen if you have created your GMB account afterwards your business addition on Google Maps.
If someone have suggested an edit it may have got approved in error. You can check notifications in your GMB App and then suggest a fresh edit. It will take some time to update on Google Maps and it usually appears in 24hrs.
Hope my answer clears your doubt and help you.

Hi @saadkhan18 ,
Are you referring to your business listing having incorrect address on Google Maps though it’s correct on the GMB dashboard?
If yes, the best place to get help would be the Google My Business Help Forum.
