Add A New Feature Of Notification

Hi 

I am a slow learner, but I do have an idea which I want to share..

we keep on adding business locations with their details like Phone number, gmail and photos etc..

what I meant to say many people don’t know their business is in Google Maps.

so can we add a feature whenever we add a new place with their phone number or Gmail he will get a notification, maybe saying that your business is live in Google Maps, This is one way where people will increase their business and l learn more with Google.

I’m not sure if my idea is right or wrong but I have seen so many people who does not know their business is in Google Maps.

If my idea is wrong please Guide me as well.

Thank you

Oui tu a raison je me pose la même question

@SJasourH98, I don't know about the policy of Google Local Guide authorities regarding this issue.

Hi @SJasourH98, I like the idea, but it might be difficult to implement in an automatic system, as no email address is entered for a POI, only a telephone number. And that would probably require a Google employee to make phone calls. 

 

Of course you can approach the business owners yourself after having added the business.

Hi @SJasourH98. Thanks for sharing this idea. It's an idea best suited for the Google My Business team, and you can visit their community as I think that community of business owners may be better suited to help you to workshop the idea.

 

We'll pass this idea along, however, if a business is not claimed, Google My Business or Google Maps doesn't have information on who owns the business to reach out since they haven't claimed it and we don't know who owns it.

I can agree with you completely. The Local Guides add the point on the maps, sometimes giving wrong name, incorrect position on maps or awful photos. If the owner knew his business is on the maps he could check and correct mistakes quickly and add the proper photos. The owner's opinion should be taken into consideration first of all.
