How to Update an Incorrect Address on Google Maps

A wrong address on Google Maps doesn’t just create confusion — it costs you real customers. When guests can’t find you, they choose someone else. The good news? Updating your address is simple, and doing it right improves your visibility across Google Search, Google Maps, and AI-driven discovery tools.

    How to Update Your Business Address on Google Maps

    Step 1: Confirm your new address

    Make sure the address matches official records — including street number, postal code, city, and spelling.

    Step 2: Log into your Google Business Profile

    Go to Google Business Profile and sign in (or claim your business if you haven’t already).

    Step 3: Update the address

    Inside your profile:

    • Go to Business Information
    • Select Edit next to your address
    • Enter your new, correct details

    If you’re using Mobal:
    Update your Google Maps address — plus Facebook, Instagram, TripAdvisor, and more — all at once, saving time and preventing errors.

    Step 4: Complete verification

    Google may ask for verification by postcard, phone, or email. Complete the process to confirm the change.

    Step 5: Allow time for processing

    Most updates go live in 3–7 days, depending on verification.

    Frequently asked questions

    Why now?

    Restaurants already trust Mobal to keep their listings accurate across Google and Apple. The website was the one part of their online presence still managed separately, with a different tool and a different login. Now it's part of the same system.

    Why does this matter for my restaurant?

    Every hour your site shows the wrong hours or an old menu is an hour a customer can be misled or turned away. And every evening spent editing a website is an evening away from the kitchen. Restaurant Websites removes both.

    What can I add to my site?

    Customers can buy gift cards directly on the site and book a table through an added widget like TableOnline. An ordering button links out to your provider, such as Wolt. Your location details, menu, hours, and special hours stay in sync with your Google and Apple listings.

    Which languages does it support?

    Choose from eight supported languages (English, Finnish, Swedish, Estonian, Russian, French, Spanish, and German) at launch and add translated versions of your site with a few clicks. More languages on request.

    What if I want a custom design?

    Restaurant Websites gives you a strong base built specifically for restaurants: the pages, layouts, and search foundations designed to help guests find and use your site. You can apply your own branding, colours, images, and pages on top.

    Can I keep my domain if I move from another builder?

    Yes. You hand over your domain and keep it.

    What does it cost?

    €29 per website per month, as an add-on. You can build and preview a site free in the demo before committing.
