There was a ‘Primary Health Centre’ in my town which got upgraded to a ‘Family Health Centre’ months ago. But whenever I edit the name in Google Maps it always says “NOT APPLIED, Google couldn’t verify your edit” without even waiting for verification. What causes this problem? Is there any solution to this?
(If I’m posting this on the wrong forum, kindly lead me to the correct forum)
Cheers from Copenhagen to South India.
Please read Why is my edit status “Pending” or “Not Applied”? if you haven’t already done so.
You may also find How to make sense of Google’s responses to your edits interesting since Approved, Not applied, and Pending are explained in more detail.
I noticed that the place has not been claimed. You could reach out to the staff/manager and suggest they take control of their listing on Google Maps and fix the name issue.
All the best

PS you posted exactly the correct plage. Thanks.
Hello @AhmadSwalihCK
The National Health Mission of GOI classifies the public health care institutions in the following five categories.
=> Sub Centre
=> Primary Health Centre (PHC)
=> Community Health Centre (CHC)
=> Sub - District or Divisional Hospital
=> District Hospital
In this way, the name suggested by you “Family Health Centre” is nowhere in the list above.
Further, I do not find any photo upload implying the name change. There is one two year old photo which still suggests the current name.
The place is a Government institution & so there is no chance of someone claiming that.
Hence, the change of name through GMB is out of the question.
However, if more than one local guide from your town suggests the same edit, that will support your claim for the name change & will improve the chance of acceptance.
Maybe the centre I mentioned comes under Community Health Centres but its name board clearly says “Family Health Centre”. The last time I visited the place I wasn’t an active local guide, I’ll definitely take and upload some photos on my next visit.
Hello @AhmadSwalihCK
Please use the tagging tool @ while replying.
I find your two-year-old review at that place. A local guide always remains “Active” unless the account goes under suspension, though you may be contributing sporadically.
Also please note an edit suggested on the spot along with a photo carries more weight. Nevertheless, your the location service on your phone must be in “High accuracy mode” and further, the photo must contain geolocation data.
Thank you so much @C_T ! Lots of thanks to @MortenCopenhagen too!
I’ll definitely try it again from the place itself and hope for the best.
