Hello everyone!
I’m having an issue adding the location of a Pakistani restaurant in Doha, Qatar, to Google Maps. I have tried submitting the location three times but it gets rejected every single time.
Here is what happened:
I submitted the location for the first time about a month ago.
I tried again a few days later, but it was rejected.
I submitted it for the third time today, and it was rejected again.
I have never experienced this issue before.
Does anyone know why Google Maps keeps rejecting my location submission?
Hi @Naveed, I can understand the frustration — three rejections for the same restaurant is tiring. When a new place is rejected again and again, it usually means Google’s system simply can’t verify the restaurant from any other source — there’s no human rejecting it personally. A few things that genuinely help: add the place while you’re actually at the restaurant, use the name exactly as it appears on the shop’s board, pick the exact category, and attach a clear photo of the storefront showing the name board. Also, submitting the same place again and again can actually make it harder, because the system starts treating it as spam — so it’s better to wait a bit and then try once with everything correct. And if the owner is willing, adding it through ‘Add your business’ on Google Business Profile works best, because that goes through business verification. Hope it gets through this time!
