Step by step

1. 

   Open the place

   Search for it or tap it on the map. We used a bakery near Charité in Berlin; we suggested nothing about it.

   Done

2. 

   Tap Suggest an edit

   It is below the address, website and phone number on the Overview tab.

   Done

3. 

   Tap Place is closed or not here

   The other rows fix the name, category, address, hours, phone or website.

   Done

4. 

   Pick the reason and submit

   Temporarily closed, Permanently closed, Doesn't exist here, Duplicate of another place, Not open to the public, Moved to a new location and more. A photo of a closure notice helps. We tapped Cancel.

   Done

About this guide

Maps sends you to a shop that closed months ago, or to the wrong door. Anyone can suggest a fix; Google reviews it before it changes.

The screenshots are from Google Maps 26.31.02 on a Samsung Galaxy A57 5G with Android 16 and One UI 8.5, in dark mode. Maps looks the same on other Android phones; only the phone's own Settings screens differ by brand.

Good to know

Google reviews suggested edits before they show on the map.

In short: Place, Suggest an edit, Place is closed or not here, reason, Submit.
