Support for Small and Medium Scale Entities

[Rahulreddy]

What I observed over last 4 years since joining the google guides program is, whenever I add any large enterprise like 3 star hotel, university, highway road, etc., it will be published to the maps on the same day. But when I add a small eatery, coffee/Tea shop, I will get a message that it will be under review and won’t get published into the maps.

Don’t you think during this pandemic, Small scale vendors have completely lost their business, and we have to promote them by listing them to maps and through our content we have to tell the public what they actually do.

I don’t why Google is very partial towards large enterprises. I added a place called Suri’s tea & coffee in maps thrice in the last 2 years. But it’s still under review. I know the owner very compassionate towards the customers and he needs a little push from online to generate some publicity towards his products. He is selling 60 varieties of tea beverages within the range of Rs. 10 to Rs. 40, which includes chocolate tea, mango tea, mint tea, espresso, etc.

Please publish my content as soon as possible, because I cherish

those moments when Small business owners thank me for helping their business grow with my content.

I think it is easier to verify larger businesses exist, but smaller ones are harder. adding a photo helps
