How do I report a wrong location on Google Maps?

Asked 5 months ago
To report a wrong location on Google Maps, one can follow a few straightforward steps. First, it is advisable to open Google Maps on a web browser or mobile device. Once the application is open, users should locate the incorrect place on the map by zooming in and finding the specific location. After identifying the incorrect listing, users can click or tap on the place marker to bring up additional information about that location. In the information panel that appears, there will typically be an option labeled "Suggest an edit." By selecting this option, users can access a form that allows them to specify the type of error, such as incorrect address details, wrong category, or even missing information. It is important to provide accurate and clear information to ensure that the correction is understood. After submitting the report, the team that manages Google Maps will review the information provided. It may take some time for changes to appear, as the verification process can vary. For users seeking additional assistance, it may be beneficial to explore the help section available on the Google Maps web page, where further guidance and contact options can be found.
