Hi @samirgadhave

Great question.

Ideal would be that the owner would claim and verify his ownership. This will enable him to manage the listing and reply to messages and reviews from Maps users.

Listings with no owner do not accept messages. Instead Maps Users can ask the community questions. Those are answered by Local Guides like you or me. In many such cases noone will answer.

I hope this helps

Hello @samirgadhave

It’s not wrong to add missing places on the maps, infact it is one of the numerous responsibilities of local guides across the world to do that. I do that regularly and even today.

Having said that,you are not obliged to manage the businesses you add on the maps. If it’s not yours, then it’s not your responsibility to manage it. When asked in the notification email Do you manage so so business? Yes Get started ! You simply ignore it.

Keep on adding and editing and improving the maps,but don’t worry about managing or replying to the reviews etc. Happy guiding

Cheers

You can add the place with proper photo timings and other things google will automatically verify if the information are correct
