Just because Google scrapes my website once to seed their database doesn't make me responsible for being their data monkey to keep it updated.
If Google is scraping this information and keeping it separate, unlinked and un-updated from its source of truth, how is that anyone but Google's fault?
- viraptor 5y agoYou have to register your business page. It's not automatic. I believe op here meant a Google business listing which was created by the owner explicitly, but not updated.
- Piskvorrr 5y agoIt's not? Interesting. Literally hundreds of business listings popped up in Google Maps overnight, a few months ago, which appear very much scraped out of some registry - name, category, address, nothing else. Similarly with the """"place names"""" that seem to be based on people's personal remarks, and about as inaccurate.
- viraptor 5y agoGoogle map entries are connected to, but not the same as business entries. https://www.google.com.au/business/ https://www.google.com.au/business/ Once you claim your business location, most submitted changes should come to you for review. (There may be exceptions, I'm not an expert here)
