Added a Pharmacy that opened two months ago. Filled every required field. I even added the Pharmacy’s phone number and a photo of the Pharmacy. My addition was not approved, nevertheless. What did I miss?

I’m level 10 and last time I tried to add a pharmacy it was also rejected.
I speculate that hospital and pharmacies can be better protected due to the pandemic. That might explain the issue.
In my case the pharmacy was inside a shopping mall. And the shopping mall is managed by the owners and have Google Maps indoor activated. That could also be the reason.
I’m sorry I can not help you any better than pointing to possible explanations.
Repeatedly trying adding the same place is not recommended. Better let it go and leave it to others. Or you can suggest the owners to add their pharmacy to Google Maps.
Cheers

I don’t think I understand what you mean by “better protected by the pandemic”.
The shopping mall is new. It’s not even on Google Maps. And people here are either not conversant with Google Maps or they are just not so keen on using it for their businesses. So, the owners updating their place on Google Maps is something I wouldn’t place my confidence in. That’s why I started updating places myself. Alas, am having ditterances. Whatever the case, I will wait to learn how to best add a place.
I suspect that Google deliberately has made it hard or impossible to add or edit pharmacies.
Since you are new here this is proabably a better answer:
Please read Why is my edit status “Pending” or “Not Applied”? if you haven’t already done so.
You may also find How to make sense of Google’s responses to your edits interesting since Approved, Not applied, and Pending are explained in more detail.
All the best

I can resonate with some of the those points. Guess I need to increase my points and trust. Thanks.
