Google Business Profile Now Allows Users to Check Edit Status

Google has added a new capability to Google Business Profiles wherein you can check the status of your edits. If you’ve made edits to your business profile, you could now simply check if it was approved, if it’s in progress or if the edit was rejected. 

The update was initially found by OMG National who posted about it on both X and LinkedIn, saying: 

“Google has quietly rolled out a new ‘Edit your business information’ feature to investigate and check the status of your GBP edits.” 

They also posted a screenshot showing the feature.

You can see the newly added capability here. OMG National gave credit to Julia Guerra for first discovering the feature.

Interestingly enough, the design of the new tool is very similar to the process of reinstating and appealing a suspension. These processes have similar consumable steps. When I was diagnosing a simulated GBP suspension complaint that I was a part of, I found it interesting and familiar. Perhaps this means that Google has broader intentions to change the way it handles all issues relating to business profiles, which is why it was familiar to many. 

This new capability should be a welcomed help to business owners managing their Google listings.
