Recently in my hometown a new supermarket of the ATB chain was opened (a popular supermarket chain in Ukraine). I add this new place to the map, indicate the hours of operation, add the actual photos of the supermarket that has appeared, indicate the site. But in the end, the place is rejected, despite the fact that I added all the necessary information… Tell me, please, what needs to be done to make the place accepted on Google Maps?

@Sotnik Hi!
If your edit is Not Applied, that means we were unable to confidently verify the information you shared at this time.
Local Guides submit edits on Google Maps to ensure their communities are accurately represented. After you add an edit to Google Maps, it’s reviewed by either local operators, an automated system, or both to ensure the information is accurate and follows our guidelines.

@Sotnik in this particular case, another local guides or the business owner might already have submitted a creation, and this might then be under review. That causes any new attempt to add the place to be rejected immediately, no matter how much information you provide.

Hello @Sotnik
There is one more reason for rejection of edits.
Certain regions may be locked for any kind of edits if there had been excessive spamming. You may find some clues on that in earlier threads.
The right approach in such situations would be requesting the owner to add the new place through GMB.

@ShafiulB , @JanVanHaver , @C_T , many thanks to you for your answers!
@ShafiulB , Can I do something else to add this important information to the map?
Also here, a very strange situation, since the building itself, which I indicated in the photo in the first post is not on the map. —
Can I do something to fix this?
@JanVanHaver As I wrote above, the problem is also possible that the building itself is not even on the map. Although this is an old building, it was built during the Soviet Union!
Strangely, the building is not on the map, although it is clearly visible in the Street View mode -
What can I do to fix this?
Eventually, this location was added: https://goo.gl/maps/xrGnB9tjxFui3uAy5
Unfortunately, I couldn`t do anything for this place to be added faster, because it is one of the biggest and most modern supermarkets in that city…
But, there is another modern supermarket in this city called “ФОРА”. And of course, I have added this on too. As the proofs, I have also added 18 photos… But the result is the same:
The location of this supermarket is here:
There is an particular building here, but there is nothing on Google Maps:
Proofs of the existing new building of supermarket:
So, what can I do to add this important place on the map?
