We understand how important it is for your business to have an accurate map pin on Google Maps. That is why, despite severe limitations in Google's API, we've begun offering limited support for map pins in Local Platform.
For the time being, we will display any map pin fully set on your location within Local Platform, however google updates to the map pin are not currently being tracked, due to restrictions in Google's API access.
We hope to offer full support for this feature as soon as possible.
In the interim, we've put together a quick guide below on how you can ensure your map pin is completely and properly set on your profile to prepare for the launch of full tracking and update notifications.
How can I update my map pin?
You can modify the map pin for your business by using Google's interface. Your change will be automatically reflected in Local Platform within a few hours.
The Local Platform is saying Google is not reporting my map pin, how can I set that?
First, check inside Google's interface to see if a Google Update is present. If so, click "OK" to acknowledge and accept the Google Update. Your map pin will then usually update and be properly set in Local Platform within two hours.
For some legacy Business Profiles, another step may be required.
If there is no update present, or accepting the update didn't successfully set your map pin within Local Platform, you may have to slightly adjust the pin within Google's interface, and then save your changes. This should properly record the map pin for locations where Google has improperly set it.
Once again, the information should be updated within Local Platform in less than two hours.
