In my experience that "within two weeks" is sort of optimistic anyway. Back before I sort of gave up on improving Google Maps quality, it was very common for changes to either never get approved or to get approved and then reverted immediately or within hours. No explanation was ever provided and it was very hard to tell whether or not a given change was accepted. Things sometimes seemed to take months to get approved. Often corrections to things that were very obvious errors (e.g. marking an empty lot as a medical clinic) were repeatedly accepted and then reverted, probably by some automation running and overwriting POIs again.
Maybe things have radically changed over the last couple of years but I have a really hard time imagining relying on public Google Maps submissions for any purpose at all.
- waffleiron 5y agoYeah, I have had very inconsistent approval times, anywhere between 30 minutes and months. Which I found especially annoying when I try to update holiday hours for a shop and got a approval message weeks after the holidays.
- jessaustin 5y agoI have seen results in minutes, but I've only ever entered updates way out in the country. Perhaps the threshold is lower for lower-traffic areas?
