What This Article Covers

Search Atlas Business Assistant audits your website for local SEO signals, including embedded maps and address formatting. Customers sometimes see warnings about a missing map or an address mismatch even when a Google Map appears to be present on the site and address information looks correct. This article explains why those flags appear and what you can do if you believe a flag has been raised in error.

Map Detection Flags

Business Assistant scans your site for map-related signals as part of its local SEO audit. If the tool flags your map as not detected, it may not mean your map is actually missing — it may mean the audit was unable to confirm its presence during the scan. If you believe your map is correctly embedded but the flag persists, this is worth escalating so the team can investigate how your specific setup is being read by the audit.

Address Mismatch Flags

Business Assistant compares the address information found on your site against the address in your connected Google Business Profile. A mismatch flag can appear even when the address is functionally correct. If you are seeing an address mismatch warning and you believe your site address and GBP address are consistent, this may be worth reviewing with the support team to confirm whether action is needed on your end.

Impact on Your GBP Score

Map detection and address formatting are among the signals Business Assistant evaluates as part of your local audit. If you are uncertain how a specific flag is affecting your score or whether it requires action, the support team can review your account and advise you directly.

What to Do Next

If you are seeing a map detection or address mismatch flag and are unsure whether it reflects a real issue or requires any changes on your site, please reach out for assistance. When you do, have the following ready: your project or site name, the specific flag or warning message you are seeing, and the URL of the page where your map or address information is located.
