Is this where you are trying to move the marker? 41.205558, -96.191108 If so, it is going for review because that is not within Omaha. If a Googler mistakenly approves it then there will be issues with it in the future. Edit: I see you posted while I was composing my follow up. It is...

Hello, Maps edits are reviewed exclusively by Google, either by algorithm or an employee. The algorithm can ask for other users' input to help it decide the next step, but will only do so when it deems necessary. There is no way to skip the queue, you will simply have to wait for your edit to...

Thanks for pinging me Joy. There is no direct way to influence the colouring any longer since POIs and their boundaries were separated. The best you can hope for is to mark that the hospital belongs to the boundary, which I can see you already did. I've submitted a report asking that the...

Joy, searching by phone number is working, try just searching (415) 394-1111

Some simpler instructions to force the new version: Go to https://plus.google.com/apps/activities and click in the search field.

There is a further issue you haven't considered. When we find a SAB without a storefront on the map, well over 90% of the time is going to be an unclaimed listing pulled from some other data source than GMB. Those are the vast majority of the listings we are deleting; and they are basically...

It was changed a few weeks ago right at the database level; they are now abbreviated in Map Maker. I have a meeting with our CM on Friday to go over multiple issues, and this is on my list. It's unclear if the database has been truly changed or the interface has been adjusted to show...

I checked when you first posted this and two times since; I'm still exclusively seeing the new interface.

The interface isn't exactly new; it is part of the new Maps and thus has been out for months. Classic Maps sent you to Community Edits (the interface you are used to seeing) and so did the edit options on G+ pages. On the new Maps there are three different ways to submit edits and all lead you...

Regarding the Map Maker guideline, I did an escalation on that and as a result it's officially rescinded; we're just waiting on the guideline to be updated.

There is not placing the suite number in a certain place in the address order in Map Maker; but rather each element of the address has it's own field in the database record. The suite goes in the field labelled "Address line", and it should just be a number or at the most # plus the number...

I'm not quite sure where we are at now. The only option is for you to set up a listing at the actual physical address. You can either do it in Map Maker and then claim the resulting listing in Places, or you can do the entire thing in Places. In either case the address is going to end up as...

I got confirmation back from the escalation team that only the physical location can be used on the map. The ability to pick a nearby city is in place for when it is found that city boundaries are wrong; in which case we are to also escalate for a city boundary repair. Google wants the real...

Plus there is a team we refer to as the Follow-up Team that review edits about 1 to 3 weeks after they are published. This even includes bot edits, I've watched them follow bots around. They'll usually catch the inappropriate stuff. If not, almost every city has a few main mappers in it who...

It's not so much a suggestion, as a requirement. The business has no right to claim the listing; it's for the professional, not them. There's a big difference. I cannot tell you the name of the clinic my doctor is at nor my dentist. When I go to look them up, I use their names. When I go...
