You can edit information on Google Maps by suggesting edits for specific places. This allows you to correct details like hours, phone numbers, or other attributes.
Steps to Suggest an Edit on Google Maps
Editing a place's information on Google Maps involves a simple process of suggesting changes. Here are the steps you need to follow:
- Open Google Maps: Start by launching the Google Maps application on your device.
- Search for or Select the Place: Find the specific place you want to edit by searching for its name or location, or by selecting it directly on the map.
- Select Suggest an Edit: Once the place's information card is displayed, scroll down or look for an option labeled "Suggest an edit". Tap or click this option.
- Choose Attributes to Change: You will be presented with various attributes or details about the place that you can potentially change. Select the specific attribute(s) you want to modify.

- Make Your Changes: Edit the information for the selected attribute(s) according to the correct details. This might involve typing in new information, selecting from options, or adjusting markers.
- Submit Your Suggestion: After making your edits, submit your suggested changes. Google will review your suggestion before potentially applying it to the map.
