How to Update Your Address, Phone, or Website on Google (and Fix Edits Google Made)

Keeping your basics right is the most important thing on your profile. Wrong phone numbers and old addresses lose customers fast.

How to change your address

1. Open your profile. On a computer, search Google for my business. In the Google Maps app, tap Business at the bottom right.

2. Select Edit profile, then Location.

3. Next to "Business location," select Edit.

4. Enter the full street address, with suite or unit number.

5. If Google cannot find it, re-enter the parts marked red, or select Adjust to place the pin on the map.

6. Select Save.

Google says if you move after verifying, you must verify again. Service-area business? See Storefront, service area, or hybrid?

How to change your phone number or website

1. Select Edit profile, then Contact.

2. Edit your phone number or website and select Save.

Tips from Google:

• Use a number your business controls, ideally a local one, not a call center.

• You can add up to 2 more numbers (no fax).

• Enter your full website address, starting with https://.

• Do not use a link that redirects to someone else's page.

Decision chart: if you moved, edit the address and verify again; if your name changed a lot, you may need to close and create a new profile; if you closed for good, mark permanently closed. The right move for each change. Diagram: Sac Business Launch.

• Name change: Google allows editing the name for small changes where the main words and category stay the same. A completely new name counts as a new business. Google says to mark the old profile closed and create a new one.

• Closed for good: select Edit profile, then Hours. Next to "Hours," select Edit, then Permanently closed, then Save. People searching for you will see that you are closed.

How to spot and fix edits Google made

Google sometimes updates profiles using info from users, websites, and other sources.

In the profile editor, blue text means info Google changed, black or white text means no Google changes; suggested edits give you 4 days to accept or reject; edits usually take about 10 minutes and sometimes up to 30 days. How to spot Google's changes. Diagram: Sac Business Launch.

1. Look for a notification at the top of your profile editor.

2. In Edit profile, any info in blue was changed by Google.

3. If it is wrong, edit that field back to the right info and Save.

4. If Google emails you about a suggested edit, accept or reject it within 4 days.

Google may also call or text the verified number on your profile to confirm details. You can review that under Edit profile, then Collected info, where available.

Common mistakes

• Making a new profile after moving. Edit the address instead.

• Ignoring Google's emails. You only get 4 days on suggested edits.

• An old website still shows your old address or hours. Google may use it.

• Adding a P.O. box or virtual office. Not allowed as a business address.

Since Google checks your website when deciding on edits, it pays to keep it current. Our Free Website Check shows what Google and visitors see.

Google changes Business Profile screens often. We checked these steps in October 2026. If a button looks different, the Google help pages below have the latest.
