titleWhy can't I use a PO Box address as my Find us address?

We suggest that you don't enter a PO Box address on the Find us page. This is because they can't be verified by Google Maps and may not appear correctly. However, you can enter your PO Box address in the Contact information section. For more information, see Publishing your business and contact information.

titleCan I hide the 'Find us' section and Google Map from visitors?

Yes, you can set the Content visibility settings for this feature so that the Find us section and your Google Map are hidden from your website. For more information, see Setting visibility options for your website content.

titleWhy is Google Map showing the wrong location?

If you've entered your location details and Google Map is showing the wrong location, check the following:

  • Make sure the correct address has been entered as described above.
  • Make sure the Street Address field doesn't contain suburb, city, state or postcode details.

If you've checked these things and Google Map is still showing the wrong location, it might be a Google issue. See this Google help article for details about reporting an error on the map.
