Search Atlas automatically emails you whenever someone attempts to move your Google Business Profile (GBP) address pin or suggests an edit to your business address — giving you a chance to review and act before any unauthorized change takes effect.
⚠️ What Triggers an Address Pin Alert
Search Atlas monitors your connected GBP listings and sends an alert email when either of the following events occurs:
- Address pin move: Someone submits a request to reposition the map pin associated with your business location.
- Suggested address edit: A user submits a proposed change to your business address through Google's "Suggest an edit" feature on your listing.
Both events trigger an immediate notification to the email address on your Search Atlas account.
📧 What the Address Pin Alert Email Contains
The alert arrives in a Search Atlas-branded email. It includes the information you need to identify the affected listing and take action:
- The type of change attempted (address pin move or suggested address edit)
- The affected GBP business listing
- A prompt to log in to Google Business Profile and review the pending suggestion
Check your inbox — and your spam folder — if you expect an alert but do not see it within a few minutes of the triggering event.
✅ How to Respond to a Suggested Address Edit
When you receive an alert, follow these steps to review and resolve the suggestion:
- Open the alert email from Search Atlas.
- Log in to your Google Business Profile dashboard.
- Select the affected listing and locate the pending suggested edit.
- Accept the change if it is accurate, or mark it as incorrect to have it removed.
Responding promptly protects your listing from inaccurate address data that can affect local search rankings and customer navigation.
⚙️ Which Account Email Receives the Alert
Alerts are sent to the email address associated with your Search Atlas account. If you manage multiple GBP locations, each connected listing is monitored independently — you will receive a separate alert for each location where a pin move or address edit is submitted.
🎯 Search Atlas address pin alerts give you real-time visibility into changes that could affect your local search presence — act on each alert promptly by reviewing the suggestion directly in Google Business Profile to keep your location data accurate and trustworthy.
