WHAT A DIFFERENCE a WRONGLY-PLACED comma makes in your Fire & Security company’s Google My Business map listing…. 1.8 miles to be precise!<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I created the Google My Business page for Fenix Monitoring<\/a> I put in the correct site address – Unipart Business Centre, Bay 27, Garsington Road, Cowley, Oxfordshire, OX4 2PG. I could see it quite clearly on the Fenix GMB dashboard.<\/p>\n

SO YOU CAN IMAGINE the cussing when Google decided to show the address on her ACTUAL map as 27 Garsington Road, Oxford.<\/p>\n

1.8 miles away from the actual building!<\/p>\n

How to fix a Google My Business (GMB) error<\/h3>\n

Gotta love Google – she often throws up a good challenge! I once had to manually draw a road onto the Google map after the roof of a new shopping mall had hidden the original road from Google’s eyes in the sky. Yes, I know! What’s even more shocking is that I’m one of those people who has to hold a roadmap upside down to give directions when I am passenger-seat driving! And they still allowed me to make the change!<\/p>\n

See,it’s usually possible to fix things with some perseverance.<\/p>\n

BUT this was another reason to blame COVID! Because for many months it was impossible to speak to a real person at GMB to get the map changed. <\/p>\n

NEVER tried to explain a wrongly-placed comma to an automated bot… ? Cue some very unladylike language.<\/p>\n

We tried all sorts of tricks to persuade the GMB Map to show the CORRECT address but to no avail. <\/p>\n

THEN, last week, I finally tracked down a real person. <\/p>\n

Hussain was able to FIND and PERSUADE the right team within Google My Business to manually move the comma… <\/p>\n

And, this week, Fenix got their comma AND their ACTUAL ADDRESS back on the map! PHEW!!!!<\/p>\n
