Recently, I have added 2 place's names on Google Maps and they have been approved. However, they still don't show up on Google Maps.
How many days will it take to add a place and make it public?
Suggestion Approval
When you make a suggestion to a place, via the "Send Feedback" option on Google Maps, or using Maps Maker, the suggestion needs to be approved.
This procedure usually takes less than 15 days.
I say usually because they deal with a lot of data submissions and corrections, so there could be a delay in response.
Propagation
Once a correction has been approved, it usually takes two business days for it to propagate all over Google's systems and to appear on google.maps.
Hope it helps!

I'm reading the documentation of GM-APIs, I found the section relative to "Places", but I can't find anything to get the information about the per-hour number of customers for a certain place.
Do you know whenever you search a place on GMaps, there is an indication of the frequency of customers, in that way you can know if the place will be busy or empty.
Is there any way to retrieve that information through Google Maps API?
Currently, there is no available feature in Google Maps API that could get the exact number or the of people in an establishment to determine its busiest time of the day.
However, there is an existing Feature Request in Google Map Platform's Public issue tracker to expose the place's popular times which seems to be related to the feature you are looking for.
Here's the link to that feature request: https://issuetracker.google.com/35827350. You can star/favorite this feature request and feel free to leave a comment there regarding your use case for additional information as well.
I have added new basketball court to the Google Database 2 days ago but it's not added while I searched for that particular court in google maps . I don't know how to track the status of the court whether it passes the moderation process . I explored it in google places add api but it gives that only the scope of the app in the response .
Also the newly added places is not reflected directly in nearby (app-scope)api. I have got this app-specific court when I pass type params to the api . Then I need to concatenate these two results to get reflected to the application. Am I right?
Please guide me in optimal path to be listed in my application as well as Google's database.
Also Please help me to find my query below.
How can I track the status of newly added places in google .
Please Help me
Thanks in advance.
From the Place Add documentation itself, it is stated that:
When you add a place, the new place is available immediately in Nearby
Searches initiated by your application. The new place also enters a
moderation queue to be considered for Google Maps. A newly-added place
does not appear in Text Search or Radar Search results, or to other
applications, until it has been approved by the moderation process.
So it means that you can see the places that you add. Just take note that you are the only one that can see this as of the time you created/add. in order for the others to view it or make visible, it needs to pass a moderation process. If your add places did not show up after a week or more, then maybe it did not pass the process.
Just read the above link to know more about it.
UPDATE
Unfortunately, Place Add has been deprecated on June 30, 2017 and will stop working on June 30, 2018. So you cannot use this method anymore. For further details please refer to the corresponding geo blog post.
I need a placeID, for our business, so I can make api calls.
Business name: Maler-Teamet.dk
Address: Engkær 15, 2650 Hvidovre, Danmark
Address-placeID: ChIJCYGE6K5WUkYRVxTvbfHLWd8
I have a piece of working javascript code, that I'm using to extract reviews of another business, in a test environment, from the Google Places/Maps api, using placeID, and displaying them on a webpage.
After updating our Google myBusiness profile, with the assistance of the Google support, who actually made most of the changes. We, and Google myBusiness, are no longer able to find the business on Google Maps, and therefore retrieve a placeID.
Using normal Google search, the myBusiness profile never displays either. I'm actually really concerned how this might be affecting seo and rankings.
When including either Hvidovre or Engkær in the seach, it does display correctly, and the business profile has a map on it, that links to the business profile on maps, which seems to be registered to the city address only, Hvidovre. This doesn't get any results in placeID finder either though. But the profile is there somewhere then.
Using f.ex the Google placeID finder with our company name, returns no autocomplete, or results. If I use the address registered on our profile, I do get a placeID, but our business is not registered on that placeID, when I make api calls.
With support from Google's myBuisness department, Google has been able to identify that there is an issue, and they have reported the issue on, internally. The reference number for the case is 2-8475000011449.
They have not been able to support the part of the issue related to the Maps/Places Api, or give me a timeline for resolving the issue, since Maps is a different department/branch related to the developers console.
Since technical support through the developers console, apparently requires a premium subscription, I have attempted to contact the sales department, to confirm that I need to pay more than 400$ to report this issue, and create what they call a P1 support case, as I understand it.
Since explaining the issue in a reply, I have actually not heard from them in 4 days now. Despite numerous attempts on my behalf.
Since the only other option Google myBusiness support was able to give was, to report the issue here with the tags google-places-api and google-maps and cross my fingers, I guess I'm hoping the right persons find this.
I looked into your issue and was able to find your business place ID. The place ID related to Maler-Teamet.dk is ChIJ91ouygNUUkYRCPVhhABpMMk.
However, as I can see this place has a service area information. Please note that "Service Area Business" results do not appear in Places API. Typically, these businesses don't have an exact location, but rather their service area. That's why they are excluded from the search.
I can suggest keeping in touch with Google My Business team and changing this business to not "Service Area Business".
I use the Google Directions API for calculating the needed time between 2 places. The API gives me an option departure_time, where I can pass the timestamp of the departure time (or "now"). Then the answer is the duration_in_traffic. This is working really great.
But I need to show the amount of time that the user needs with his car, when he want to be at his target at a specific time.
E.g. the user wants to be in Dortmund at 8pm (20:00). So I need to show him when he should start driving to arrive in time at his desired goal. The API-documentation says, that there is a parameter arrival_time, which does exactly what I need. Unfortunately they say it does only work for public-transport.
But Google maps itself offers the desired functionallity even for cars! As you can see in the screenshot: I said that I want to be in dortmund at 20:00 and google-maps says, I should start driving 'arround 18:30'
So how I can I achieve this with my app? Do I need another API or do I need to pass other parameters?
Here is my current API call:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=Bielefeld&destination=Dortmund&arrival_time=1460836800&key=AIzaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
best regards

I am looking to find out if Google Places Autocomplete should return results including my submitted places.
I have submitted a place to the Place Report endpoint, and got an
id and ref back.
I then want my users to be able to select that
place from an autocomplete box - along with all the other results.
I have added the browser API key to the Javascript src.
Is this how it's designed to work, 'cos it's not working like that at the moment - or am I being impatient / doing something wrong.
I have verified my Place has been added by calling up the details using the reference it returned when I added it...
Your Place Reports are supposed to be available immediately to your application, but they must pass through a Google moderation process before they become generally available to all users. From the User Place Reports section of the Google Places API Docs:
Place Report requests are used to add new Places, or delete existing
ones. New Places will be available immediately in Place Searches
initiated by your application, and will enter the moderation queue to
be considered for Google Maps. A newly-added Place will not be
available to other applications until it has been approved by the
moderation process.
It isn't clear from your question exactly how you performed your Place Report, so I assumed you had used the Google Places API.
Some additional info, based on your comment:
It makes sense that you can see the place you have added using the Places API, but that it doesn't appear when using Autocomplete. The Places API is designed to be very thorough (and of course, the new place was added by your application), while the Autocomplete is focused on being high-speed, low-latency, and is based almost entirely on how Google rates the prominence of nearby places. Assuming the newly added place has not yet had many clicks, ratings, etc. on maps.google.com, it makes sense that it will not yet rate very highly in prominence.
There is some very good information about the differences between the Autocomplete tool and the general Places API in the Autocomplete Demo & Places API Demo & Discussion Video, given by Paul Saxman, a Developer Advocate at Google and Marcelo Camelo, Google's Technical Lead for the Places API. There is a portion near the end where they discuss adding new places and I think it will help clarify the results you are seeing. Anyway, I hope it helps -
