Is Google mapping your office location in the wrong place?
There is a fairly easy fix for this but unfortunately, because of the
way Google operates, I can't fix it for you but I will tell you how it is done.
The steps are quite easy to get the process started, though keep in mind
that Google operates on their own timeframe so the changes won't always occur overnight.
To get started, go to the Google map page that is showing the incorrect location for your business.
In the information balloon on the map about your business,
click on "Edit".
The balloon contents will change a bit at the bottom.
Click on "Claim your business"
Now you need to sign in or create a Google account
to be able to edit your details (free).
This part is important so that not just anyone can change your info.
Once you get signed in to Google,
click "Edit my business information"
then Continue.
They will show you the info they have about the business so you can update that
and also drag the location marker around the map to change the map location.
Now when you press the submit button at the bottom, on the next screen they will need
to either send you a post card by US mail to the address listed for the business,
or make an automated phone call to the phone number listed for the business.
This is the part that keeps us from being able to make the edits for you.
Without this step they won't change any of the information.
When you confirm the changes by entering a pin number supplied by the post card or phone call
then they will put you in their schedule for updating your location on all of their different map features.
The updating part can take them a couple months but you can be sure they will get to it eventually.
Let me know if you have any other questions about these steps.
