Please notice that I’ve stopped Google contributing as an objection from my side Untill you solve my problem*
Recently I tried to add more than one place.
But it shows as “not accepted” on my edits page while it’s already added to the map.
Even with my photo I posted while adding the place!!
And also it’s not counted as added places for me.
What is going on! That already happened more than once.
Google always accepts the added place but removes my credits for adding the place.
Welcome to Connect, @Mad_Darsh , and thanks for raising this potential issue.
Can you kindly share a link in Google Maps of the places mentioned in your post for a check?
This will help the team on the debug
Well.
Here are the recent places I’ve added but didn’t get any credits about them.
And ironically, ALL of them is been added with my photos, and ALL of them shown as not accepted!
I totally understand your frustration — the same thing has happened to me before. It’s really disappointing when we put in the effort to add useful places, and they get added to the map but we don’t get the credit for it .
From what I’ve learned, sometimes Google’s system auto-detects duplicate entries or marks an edit as “not accepted” if it doesn’t meet all the verification points, even if the place shows up later. It’s confusing, I agree!
A few tips that helped me:
Make sure to fill all the details properly (like name, category, exact location, opening hours).
Add at least one clear photo of the place while submitting.
Try not to add multiple places too quickly — sometimes the system delays updates.
I hope your issue gets resolved soon. Thanks for sharing — it helps the community understand what’s going on too.
Let’s hope Google listens and improves this process
Thank you dear, I appreciate your effort to explain that.
But I’ve already done all of that with my last added places. But it didn’t help either.
That place.
I asked the restaurant owner about adding the place, and he said OK, it wasn’t even open yet and it was a soft opening. So no one added it before.
I was exactly in front of the place with GPS enabled.
I’ve added clear Photos not just one photo.
I’ve added the address exactly.
I’ve added a phone number
added opening hours
I’ve added the category.
So nothing else was missing.
Google clearly removed my credits for that place I’m 100% sure of that.

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well.
Are there any updates regarding my case?
I’m still holding off on all my Google contributions until I fix the issue. @MoniDi@ErmesT
There are no updates on your issue. Please allow some time for the team to work on it. If we have news, we will let you know. Thank you for your patience!
Thank you, @MoniDi
I appreciate your help.
However, I’m feeling a bit disappointed because it’s taking a long time to receive feedback.
I’m still stopping my Google contributions. Nonetheless, I want to acknowledge that you did your best. Now it’s Google’s turn. Now it’s Google’s turn.
Well, I gave up.
The Google team clearly Can’t help and solve the problem.
I’m very disappointed and have decided to stop all my Google contributions.
Thank you for your try.
Your issue was already escalated and a Googler explained that if they hear back that will let you know.
The most likely scenario in my experience is that the places you suggested got merged with existing places as this explaines why your photos show up there.
In the meantime if you want to try getting your trust score improved, I would suggest you review all your photos to remove all duplicates, selfies, and group photos you have uploaded.
Writing multiple posts on the same topic would not speed up the process of your issue being investigated. Please be advised that I will merge your topic with the previous one to keep Connect organized.
That said, there is no update from the relevant team regarding your issue but they are working on it.
