How can I add my residential address to Google Maps?

My home address “64 Bis Chemin Saint Jean, 31770, Colomiers, France” is not listed on Google Maps. Notice the “Bis” part of the address. The weird thing is, the house number “64” exists further down the road and you can imagine how deliveries  get mixed up -.-

No problem for me to drop a pin and set it as my home location, but how do I add my address to Google Maps publicly, so others can also find it?

Hi Tobias 
 
To add an address to the Map, please enter your address into the search bar of the Map. If your address doesn't show fully, remove any house numbers or apartment numbers and the marker should locate you in the middle of the road.
 
Click on "Send feedback" in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, or click on the menu (3 horizontal lines top left of screen) and scroll down to "Send feedback".
 
Click on "Wrong Address" and complete the form (if you have an apartment number, please add it to line 2 of the form, and if your address has 3 lines, you will be given an option to add a third line). 
 
IMPORTANT: Do not abbreviate anything but spell everything out (Street, Road, Boulevard, North, Southeast etc). Google's algorithms will automatically abbreviate map data depending on where it is displayed, but it's essential that the full address be entered without any abbreviations.
 
Only make an entry on "Street address line 2" if you are entering an apartment or suite number.  In all cases uses the format of #3 (for an example of apartment number 3). Do not enter any text such as "Apt" or "Suite" or "Floor" -- as such an address (with text in Line 2) will not parse correctly in Google Search.
 
Should you be in a country using 3 lines for an address, after entering information in "Street address line 2" an option box will appear ("Add Line")  that you may click on for a third address line.
 
Next move the Map to the exact location of your address. You can change to Satellite view and change the zoom if needed. You need to make sure that the pin is directly over your house. 
 
Click on "Done" when you're happy that the marker is in the correct location.
 
Finally, click "Send" to submit this to Google Maps.
 
You will receive an email after submitting the edit request. It will say "Thank you for adding an address to Google Maps! The address is being reviewed. We'll let you know once the changes are published." 
Please KEEP this email as you might need it later if the edit is not approved after one month, or if it is incorrectly denied.
 
To check the status of your edit go to Your Contributions, then click on Edits.  You can then scroll down and see the current status of your edits.  If your report is still "Pending" after one month, or "Not Applied" please post again with a screenshot of the email, mentioned above, and we will chase up Google for you.
 
 
Please let me know if you have any questions or need help with any of this.
 
Thanks

Beadie Jay - 

How do I get my address in Friendswood TX 77546 added.....I have tried at least 5 or 6 times through traditional means...  I cannot security monitor (through Brinks) my Google Nest system because you all are completely non-responsive to getting it added.

Hi Leo Peters
 
Please create a new post in your own thread; we need to have different issues in separate threads and it will be less confusing for you, for us and for the original poster. 
 
You can access the new post screen from the Community Home Page (https://support.google.com/maps/community?hl=en) by scrolling down to the "Ask now" link at the bottom right, or directly via this link: https://support.google.com/maps/thread/new?hl=en.

Make sure to give as much detail as possible. You're more likely to get help if you do that.
 
Thank you
-BeadieJay
 
P.s. you might want to delete your post with the email address in, as this is a public forum and it's never a good idea to post email addresses publicly.

Regardless of the accuracy and the number of times one sends updated information to Google Maps, Google Maps will not respond after one month. Nor will they ever respond. It seems that Google Maps is not responding to any updates for residential areas
Hi User 5233475814399129137
 
Nor will they ever respond. It seems that Google Maps is not responding to any updates for residential areas

Not true. They do respond, but they get 1000s of requests every day and can't get to all of them, so some of them take longer than a month, and that's where we can help by chasing Google for yo.
 
If you have a problem with getting a residential address added, please create a new thread of your own, and give as much information as possible. 

Thanks.
