Fixing incorrect business information
I was just reading through Miriam’s Solas webdesign blog and read something I didn’t knew was there before. Here goes the story:
If you encounter some incorrect business information for Emergency Services in Google it is possible to use a special contact form to notify Google of these errors.
If you’ve discovered incorrect business information for an emergency service, a police station, a fire patrol, a hospital, a shelter, or a similar service, please complete and submit the form below. Google Maps gathers information from a variety of sources, including websites and Yellow Pages directories. Occasionally, this information may be incorrect or outdated.
I wanted to share this information to those reading my blog as I thought this is quite important, and we all want accurate information - especially when you need it the most

very nice, what a social feeling Martijn!
Good Evening Martijn,
So far, no one I have spoken to has been aware of that link on Google’s page for correcting emergency services data errors. Obviously, if no one knows about it, that’s a big part of the problem. Thanks for passing this information along to your readers!

This is great, however, Google still provides no way to report/eliminate incorrect “verified” business locations, such as this fake ‘Walmart SuperStore’ which does not exist in downtown Nashville.
Hi Ken!
Thanks for commenting on this blog.
the listing for the specific wal-mart is indeed a bit troublesome according to the reviews.
This listing however, wasn’t verified, the community edit feature is still available. You can click on ‘edit’ and flag the listing as inappropriate.
I myself already sent out the flag report, more people doing this should hopefully trigger an action at Google.
Again thanks for visiting my blog and bringing this to the attention!
