Few Additions in Google Maps Asks for Label

[AtmaR]

While adding few places, I have seen that few places after adding, asks for entering label. What is it? I wanted to add photos of the places and it asks to enter labels.

Can you include some screenshot here?

If possible, include the URL for the places that you are editing.

Well... I dont what happened now.. It is solved. I thought of sharing the link for you and when I went to the Place for sharing the Link, now it is showing normal and letting me add the photos. 🙂

I have seen this as well. I think the labels are the same thing as the questions you answer. If you answer "yes" to the question it adds that label to the business. Examples questions such as:

Wheel chair accessible

Wheel chair seating

Patio

Outdoor seating

I've noticed that the tags are the same as the yes answers to some of those questions.

I think there are some articles around adding labels to a place. Labeled places show up on your map, in search suggestions, and in the "Your places" screen.

@AtmaR Are you talking about the ability to add a private lable to a place? This only shows up for you, its like customizing the Map for yourself. I often do this for events or a friend's house.

Yup CorriD this is what it was showing when  I added a place. But after an hour or so, it started displaying normally and all the links like Add Photo, Review etc... Which I wanted. So now there is no issue I have.

Hi CorrieD

There is another place that has tags/labels that, I think, is not private.

If I open up your maps and select the business, sometimes, I get get this option (below the Call/Save/Website and above it's details) for "Know what features this place has?" 

If I select that, it opens a window for "Describe this place" which are tags that correspond to questions that are often asked. I don't always see this option, but luckily enough I saw that today and remembered this thread.

P.S. How do you insert pictures in this forum?
