Places & business claims
Find Places, claim a business, and report ownership issues.
What it is
- Places are local listings — restaurants, shops, parks, and more. A Business Place can be claimed so the right person can help manage the listing.
- Claiming asks for staff review. A pending claim is not management access yet.
How to use it
- Browse Places or search. Prefer Find & claim an existing listing before adding a duplicate.
- Use Claim This Business when you own or manage the Place. Track status under My Businesses.
- If the wrong person claimed a listing, report an ownership issue from Help or Report a Problem.
What happens next
- Staff review claim requests. When approved, you can manage the listing from My Businesses. Claims do not change Google ownership.
Report a business ownership issue
If a Place is claimed by the wrong person, or you need help transferring management, tell us below. Include the business name and Place URL if you have it. Admins review ownership disputes in the support queue — they do not change Google ownership.
