Why my business Information may be rejected

ELITE WEB Co. Marketing’s service helps you get your local business listed on Google search and maps. However, Google has some restrictions on what type of business information it accepts.

When you submit your information, we review your business information to ensure that it’s accurate and meets our partner guidelines. Upon review, your business information may be reformatted to meet these guidelines. Our goal is to ensure that the information you provide represents your business in a way that is appropriate for a local search site, so that your business attracts the most customers.

 Note: This service is only available for Premium and Ecommerce plans within the United States.
