Re: add places

Hi @alibahrami everyone has issues with Not Applied from time to time. When it happens with me I just move on and do some other contribution.  Not applied or staying pending happens to all of us from time to time. Former Googler Gus wrote a great post about it that would be good for you to read.

 

To get best results I personally find

 

    • Only add or edit places I've actually been too
    • Make sure Location Services is on for Maps
    • Add the complete information in one go

Re: add places

Hi Buddy!

 

As @PaulPavlinovich said, that's something that happens to all Local Guides from time to time.

 

Personally before giving up, I do this:

 

- Make sure I selected the most accurate category or very adequate one, in case it doens't exist. Try with one or two adequate categories.

- Try to add at least 5 pictures, with the name of the business very clear, a close up and a picture a little bit far away and pictures of the inside of the business or place (if it applies).

- Complete as much information as you can, verify online if there is a website, phone number and hours.

- I'm not sure, Google Might use OCR (Optical Character Recognition), so, it will be important that the name you put for the business, matches the one in the pictures.

 

@Alhasani let me know if this helps, and try to select one our responses "as solution" for this topic, so other people know it has been solved.
