New To The Neighborhood? Trouble With Delivery Services? Here’s What You Can Do.

How to Update Road Information on Google Maps

Living in a brand-new community can be exciting, but it can also present unexpected challenges. One such challenge is ensuring delivery services and others can easily locate your address on Google Maps. If your community is new and not yet showing on Google Maps, here’s what you can do:

1. Submit a “Missing Place” Request:

  • Open Google Maps on your computer or mobile device.
  • Search for your community name or address.
  • If your community isn’t found, click the “Add a missing place” button in the bottom right corner.
  • Enter the complete address details, including street name, number, city, state, and zip code.
  • If available, add a clear photo of a house number or community entrance sign.
  • Click “Submit.”

2. Suggest an Edit for Existing Roads:

  • If your community’s roads are already shown on Google Maps with incorrect names or missing labels, you can suggest edits.
  • Search for the affected road and click on its name appearing at the bottom or simply right click on the map.
  • Click “Report a data problem” and choose the appropriate option like “Wrong information” or “Add or fix a road.”
  • Provide accurate information and submit the suggestion.

3. Consider Hiring a Google Maps Trusted Company:
