How to create a full business listing with specific info

Hi Wazers,

I have tried asking for help on the general forum of this site but was advised that it may be better to ask in the specific country where I am facing this issue, as some of the editors here may be able to help.

The query I have is that my friend owns an automotive repair shop based in Perth and we are trying to create a business listing like one of our competitors below

https://www.waze.com/directions/australia/subiaco/auto-masters-subiaco/75892169.759118293.8102011.html

We did try some of the guidelines given in this forum and on Google’s support page, particularly using the Waze app. However, we only got as far as creating the location but no information is provided when checking the listing. Example below

https://www.waze.com/en-GB/livemap/directions?latlng=-32.144816%2C115.785363

We also noticed that there is also another way businesses are displayed just like the one given below:

https://www.waze.com/en-GB/livemap/directions/american-samoa/subiaco/market-square?place=w.75892169.759118294.2536237

Am I right in thinking that there are different ways business information is displayed depending on the nature of the business? Ideally, we want to have a listing as like the first example given above.

Hope someone could shed some light, and thank you in advance.

Hi, welcome to the Waze forums for Australia.

These are simply “Places” within Waze, and are able to be added by anyone. If you’d like us to add a business, please be aware that all listings of businesses on Waze using the editor we access must have unbiased information, no taglines, or descriptions based on opinion.

If you’d like us to create the place for you, you can provide the following information and we’d be happy to add this place in.

Display Name:
Type of Place:
Description of the Place:
Location of the Place: (you can link us a specific google location, or you may use Lat/Long coordinates)
Link to place listing on Google (So we can link the result)
Website: (if applicable, no Facebook)
Phone Number for the place:
Services Provided: (choose as many or as little as is applicable)

Opening Hours:
Directions of access point (doors for the business, if not obvious):

Edit:
Upon receiving this information I will create the Place, and I can provide you with both styles of links if you prefer.

“Upon receiving this information I will create the Place, and I can provide you with both styles of links if you prefer.” - Yes please, I think both will be useful for the business.

Thanks for the information, the place is created on the Waze map, and your two link styles are below:

https://www.waze.com/directions/australia/Bentley,-WA/Auto-Owls/75957704.759708112.18772488.html

https://www.waze.com/en-GB/livemap/directions/american-samoa/bentley,-wa/auto-owls?place=w.75957704.759708112.18772488
(for this link, it references American Samoa for some reason, it’s just a display error and would not allow me to correct it, but the directions are correct. Here is an alternative link: https://www.waze.com/en-GB/livemap/directions/australia/western-australia/bentley/auto-owls-or-auto-mechanic-and-electrician-bentley?place=ChIJx7MJanK8MioR7T8t-e6CQyU )

For reference, I have also locked the Place in Waze to Level 3 so unintentional damage is not caused to this listing. For description character limit reasons, I have had to shorten the description. Please let me know if there is any issues with the listing. Here is the link for the place listing in Waze Map Editor: https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=row&lon=115.92307&lat=-31.99651&s=1178599423&zoom=7&venues=75957704.759708112.18772488

Please also note that the list of Services provided are restricted to the ones I provided in my original message. I have used the ones I assume are relevant, as custom services are currently not a feature.

Hi Vesitigal.

Thank you for looking into this for me. Just so that I understand, what is the difference between the two links, and how were they created (e.g. different apps, platforms)?

Thanks again for taking the time to give me a hand with everything :slight_smile:

No problem.

The difference between the links, is that one is a livemap search, and another is a direct link to a Place created within Waze.

Keep in mind that I am unsure of the exact behaviours of these links, I am not Waze staff, just a community editor.
