Google Maps, Years in Business

[DangGood]

I noticed today when searching certain keywords (not all) that in the maps section it is now showing years in business. The problem is that for us it shows 3+ years but we’ve been in business nearly 5 years. So it may sound picky but I’d quite like it show 4+ years now and after April to show 5+ years as that would be accurate. We provide a service where experience is likely to be important not to mention it might be a factor for EAT. And incidentally we have recently dropped some positions for some keywords. May be pure coincidence but I have to wonder... Anyone know the best way to get this corrected?

You have specified your "opening date" in GMB, correct?

Is this new? # years in business? | Local Search

First time I saw this - 20 years in business? SERP - desktop - 3 Pack

I’m sure I would have initially but I’ve been into desktop version and GMB App but not seeing an option for adding it specifically unless I add it to the description.

It should be on the info tab, way at the bottom (reference: Google is Testing Opening Dates in the Local Packs - Local University)

Thank you I see it now... yep correct day is already in there: April 1st, 2016. So not sure why Google wouldn’t be at least showing 4+ years. In April it will be 5. Puzzling
