Even Cleveland was Wiped off the Maps
Public Domain 4th of July Flag
Imagine the millions of people who might have got lost during their travels, wait, better yet…Imagine fellow SEOs and Marketers sitting at their desks panicking that their clients map profiles have all gone away. (Yes I was working too July 4th.)
Business listings in Google maps just disappeared
While monitoring data for a few local businesses, a search for their brand revealed a blank right side knowledge section for PC searches.
My first thought was that maybe Google Shut down my access to maps because I wrote a 3 page document filled with screenshots of map spam about map spam. Maybe it sounded too mean.
I went directly to google.com/maps/ and realized that Google could not find Cleveland or the nearest hospital.
A search on Twitter will reveal if there is a major Google server outrage by the number of complaints.
Without my Yeti mic handy, I made a quick video documenting the outtage in Google Maps in case clients and account managers started calling me to find out what was wrong with their map listings.
