When Google Places Doesn’t Work, It Really Doesn’t Work

Universities, hospitals, governments… it is often very difficult for them to get control of their listings in Google Places. Some of this is due to the claiming process and some due to the underlying nature of the way that Google assembles listing data. Regardless, when it doesn’t work, it really doesn’t work and, as this frustrated poster points out, could one day very well lead to a disaster. I was just too tired to post an answer in the forums to their query. Perhaps one of you kind souls could help Frustrated UM out?

Yes, I’ve tried “edit” and I’ve tried “report a problem”. Those functions are not working. Here is what’s happening:

Many pages for the University of Montana have the wrong phone number on them. They all have the phone number for Family Housing listed. Therefore, Family Housing is being overrun with calls for Financial Aid, Human Resources, Mansfield Library, Registration etc. They are also getting calls from people looking for Campus Security! This has the potential to become dangerous. Students are actually calling the wrong number trying to get to the Campus Police but are reaching Family Housing. Here are the locations that are wrong:

University of Montana: Financial Aid

University of Montana: Human Resouces

University of Montana: Campus Security

University of Montana: Registrar

University of Montana: Native American studies

University of Montana: School of Law

I’m sure there are more. All of these have the same phone number listed (406) 243-6030, which is for family housing. I’ve tried using the edit button and the report a problem button. I’ve followed the steps but all I get back is an email that says “Thank you for updating Gizzy Pool”. and then later another email saying “We could not update Grizzy Pool, the information could not be verified”.

I did not try to update the Grizzy Pool page (and it should say Grizzly Pool by the way). I can get no other response. What should I do?

Again, before anyone tells me to try the Edit or Report a problem route, I’ve been trying for nearly 2 months with no other response except the Grizzy Pool emails

As you might know, the Xtracked service is currently in its Beta phase. The Beta phase is like a rehearsal for the launch, where we test everything out with a small audience before allowing the whole world to join.

During this Beta, you can enjoy all the features of our service for free, even the Premium ones! The only thing we ask in return, is that you help us to improve our service by reporting bugs and sending in suggestions via our contact form.

Applying for a Beta account is easy, simply sign up for free at https://www.xtracked.com/en/user/signup. Be sure to double check the email address you submit, because we will use this address to send you your account verification link.

If you do not see our verification email in your inbox, please check your Spam folder (sometimes called ‘Junk’ or ‘Bulk’). Some providers mark unknown email as spam by default, so if you do happen to find our email in there, please make sure to mark it as ‘Not Spam’. This will help future messages to get through.

If you no longer have the email, we can resend you the activation message. Just enter your email address and password at https://www.xtracked.com/ and hit the ‘Log in’ button. When the system sees that you have not yet verified your account, it will automatically send you your verification link via email.

Once you have verified your account, Xtracked will review your request for approval. As soon as a Beta slot opens up for you, we will contact you at the email address you submitted. As the Beta progresses we will be letting more and more people in, so don’t be put off if you do not get your account approved immediately.

We hope to see you soon at Xtracked.com!
