Google Map
As I was entering in my new listing on various websites for marketing, I noticed Google Map had the address of the street of my listing wrong. This is a big problem since people would not be able to find the house with its correct address. To make the matters worse, Bing does not even have the street listed! Yes, it is a new subdivision and it is a new street but Google at least had the street drawn on their map! So, I wanted to have this corrected by Google as soon as possible and found a small "report problem" link on the bottom right of Google map. I clicked on it, followed instruction and sent it in not knowing if a real person will be at the other end to receive it. As somewhat expected, I received an acknowledgment email of my report and surprised that it read as if someone actually wrote it rather than being maybe an automated message. And, well, one day later I get another email from Google "Map Team" below message!
Hi Hannah,

Thanks for your help,

I don't know what I expected when I first reported the issue but hey, if this is the way it was being handled by Google and corrected accordingly, and had I known this, I would have made many corrections that I came across in the past! Anyway, I am so glad I did this and I feel I have served my seller by getting the map corrected so her house will show up properly when people search for it. yay!
