Bug: some service-area businesses showed a map pin in the middle of the ocean
What changed
Local marketers reported a bug where service-area businesses (ones that hide their address) showed the correct service area on Maps but a pin marker in the middle of the ocean on the profile. It was seen on many profiles. Google had not commented when it was reported.
What to do
- If you hide your address, search your business on Google and Maps and check where the pin shows.
- Confirm your service areas are set correctly in your profile.
- Don't change your address settings to fix it. Wait, or post once in the Business Profile help community with a screenshot.
