This keeps on happening to me. I just created a new place, that is a bar, that has been in the same spot for the past 7 years, close to another pub, by a pool, And it cannot be added? Even google streetview shows the place and it has multiple reviews (66) in tripadvisor. Why is this constantly happening to me now? It’s a place called sink or swim pub right next to the pool bar and rocky’s in the photo.

Hello @JouniJ
I know it can be disappointing. But every local guide has some edits which are pending. Some edits are accepted promptly by Google algorithm, some are rejected (Not applied) promptly. And some are placed under pending which will be verified using fact check options or other facts by the Maps. To know more read this post from a Google Moderator Why is my edit status “Pending” or “Not Applied”?
Few tips from me;
Always keep your GPS on and make sure it is accurate when you are adding a place to maps. When I am adding a location on the map I have found that when I am present in the location and GPS is accurate maps tend to approve it in most cases. Also always try to add photos, phone number, website etc. of the place when adding or editing, this will increase the chance of approval.

Hi,
It had the correct phonenumber, address, website and I’ve been there (as I sell alcohol to customers) and wanted to add them to a delivery list, which is now not possible, making it a real nuisance to me. This is the second time a thing like this has happened to me, even with all the correct details and they get rejected in few minutes.
@JouniJ I understand. This happens sometimes. So, in this case, move on and try to do other contributions. And alternatively, you can ask the owner to add their place using Google My Business. See 'Add or claim your business listing’ for more help.

Thanks. 
Will do that, as our driver doesn’t know where the place is now at and every time they order something, I’ll need to send the GPS coordinates
