Question

Why is my place visible only to the account where I added it from and not to other accounts?

Community Answer

It probably hasn’t been approved by Google yet, which is why you can only see it on the account you submitted it from. It usually takes a few days for Google to approve your location, so be patient.

Community Answer

Sign in to your Google account, click on the menu icon before your profile picture. From the dropdown menu, click on My Business, this will open a link/page. Mark the checkbox in front of the locations you want to remove, click on the action bottom that appears, click on remove location from the drop-down menu, and you are done removing them.
