I have been trying adding our business.... http://www.newcapegrace.com/map.htm
into Google business but cant find Pakistan in the country list....

There is a keyhole linked to newcapegrace and it is already pointed on
the Google but since i m not aware of the option of how to add local
businesses in Pakistan, it is not appearing when search for
newcapegrace and other suitable keywords for the business whereas;
other businesses in Islamabad Pakistan are appearing....

Need Help at the earliest...

Thanks

KariM....

Hi,

You can add/edit your business by signing in at www.google.com/mapmaker
For more information on how to add and edit features in Map Maker you
cab see Help section by choosing link at top right side of Map Maker
page.
Your addition or changes will eventually move to Google Maps, Google
Business Center and Google Earth.

Thanks

If logon to http://www.google.com/mapmaker and search for newcapegrace, its already there... I have added it to mapmaker for the past few months now. but still it hasnt been moved to google business center whereas other businesses have already.. Perhaps, it needs human (senior map-moderators like you all) attention for have it to be published at google business center....
 
Kind Regards,

Hi,

Data added on Map Maker doesn't directly go live on other google mapping products. It is usually pushed in terms of updates with an interval of unspecific time that can't be told exactly. More information can be found at http://groups.google.com/group/map-your-world/web/top-5-frequently-asked-questions?_done=%2Fgroup%2Fmap-your-world%3F

Cheers

When search for "Guest house in Islamabad", our business (NewCapeGrace) is appearing in the google map business results but due to a spelling error in the address, the location is pointed at the wrong spot.

Kindly advise and help us fixing the spelling mistake of "Aboul" in the address "H 8, Justice Abdul Rasheed Road, F-6/1 IslamabaD"...

An early response to this will be highly appreciated...

Thanks

Hello.

You can edit the road name yourself to make correction. All you need is to login with your gmail account at www.google.com/mapmaker and search and edit the road name. 

Cheers

Hi,

The road name is correctly spelled & marked on the google mapmaker and infact NewCapeGrace address is also correctly marked on google maps... It's just that when search for the query "Islamabad Guest Houses" or other similar entries, the local business results of NewCapeGrace show the mispelled roadname i.e. (Aboul Rasheed Road instead of Abdul Rasheed Road), thus leading it to the wrong placemark.

If don't mind, you could search the query on google by yourself and see the difference between the actual placemark and local business results placemark due to the spelling error..

Kindly advice....

I think it must be OK with next data push update as I see that now you have added the feature at correct place in Map Maker.

Dear Jabran,
 
A small question.... NewCapeGrace entry had a guesthouse symbol mark on the map entry as other businesses have, but for the past few days that symbol has been disappeared. If you follow the link www.newcapegrace.com/map.htm and zoom in to the location, you will be able to see what exactly i mean. it use to be visible at all other maplinks on different websites but now only the pointer appears, but not the "NewCapeGrace Guest hOuse with symbol" other than on the http://maps.google.com page itself... attached jpegs are the two images that will visually explain what i meant here....

Kindly advice....
 
KariM...

Dear JabraN,
 
I have tried editing the NewCapeGrace entry to modify the categories because the shape/symbol of guest house business does not appear on the newcapegrace entry... i hope this will enable the feature and will add the guest house symbol to the newcapegrace entry.
 
I have attached the pictures with this email for illustration.
 
Jabran, kindly assist and fix the above mentioned error if it is still there..
 
Looking forward for a quick response....
 
KariM Meghji...
