Dear @Kyawzinhlaing

As of now, the only way is to "Send Feedback" to Google, only.

How to "Send Feedback" ?

In Google Map, Click the 3 Line Menu Bar on the Left, Top Corner.

Go down & click "Send Feedback"

Under that "Your Opinion about Maps" request the NEW CATEGORY along with a Screenshot (Facility is given)

Then Submit - This may take while to get a response

Hope this will help you.

If this is an answer for your question, then Click the "Accept as a Solution"

Thanks

I have added a place in google map but the place does show in the map publicly. It shows only when the place is searched writing the exact name in the search box.
