Hi I'm Thivantha Harischandra local guide with 225,000 ( Level 10) points.
Recently I wanted to know how to claim a business. Our gym owner asked me to how to do it ? as I think someone has claimed before. How to fix it ?

SolutionHi @ThivHari if the place, on Google Maps, is shown with a link "Claim this business" that means that the business is not already claimed/verified.
To claim it, you should ask the business owner to log in with his Google account, and click the "Claim this business" link, follow the instructions and complete the verification process asking for a post card to be sent. (You can find full instructions here: https://support.google.com/business/answer/6310396?hl=en&ref_topic=6319777 )
If the business seems already verified (claimed and confirmed) by someone that is not the business owner, he should start a recovery process: you should ask about this in the proper support board https://www.en.advertisercommunity.com/t5/Google-My-Business/ct-p/GMB
Hope it helps

Make sure the address is accurate becasue send the verification code via post.
