I just applied to add a couple of business to WME. Can someone explain to be the process to have them approved? They are both published locations on Google My Business.
Thanks
Places added in WME by new editors must be moderated before being added to the app.
Can you provide a Permalink of the location to review?

Like JM said - they are there, a more experienced editor needs to see the update request and approve it.
We can only use sources within WME (including the street view images) or non-copy-protected sources (like company websites that list locations) to map things in Waze.
Google My Business is a copy-protected source and we can’t cite it.
Confidence is just the feeling you have before fully understanding the situation.

I think I did this right.

The second link is out of my area, but I can edit around the first one.
Neither link included the place point, and I can’t find either one.
Were you able to save after adding?
I wasn’t able to save because it said I had no permissions to make some changes.
I found the website for the second business and will add it shortly
NJMedic, what category does NJ give attorney’s? Shopping/Services?
“no permission” is (usually) an editor glitch.
I’m not sure what we give attorneys … I’d say “other” since you usually don’t shop at one.

I was using “Other” Office…
Actually, your right, “offices” works.
You only have edit rights with a certain distance of your drives while Waze is running. If you have not had waze running then you would not have edit rights in the area.
Good point. I did notice the editable area shading was off on the permalinks.
Mike - do you have the editable area checked on your layers menu? If you tried to add a place where you don’t have EA it would give the “no permission” error.

I have approved and added the information for it.
I added Costello Law Firm also
