While am ok with the Business Listing because it helps in branding along with some extra clients, the Home Address listing which is automatically added by the Google Mapping Car is becoming a privacy concern because it clearly shows my home details with a high quality view and i wanted to know if its possible to remove this. I tried to search my Home Address in the Maps website and viewed the listings page but could not find any direct option to delete the same. Is there any option to perform this step and help me hide my address from Google Maps? &#8211; Jennifer from US<\/p>\n<p><strong>Process on Removing Location Listing Added by us :<\/strong> First of all its always recommended that you add all your Business Address on the Google Maps and all the other Mapping Services like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/microsoft-live-search-maps-to-compete-google-maps-yahoo-maps\/\">Live Maps<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/free-world-india-maps\/\">MapTell<\/a> etc all of which can help you in getting business easily. Now in order to list any address to the Google Maps, you need to login to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/local-business-center-google-maps\/\">Local Business Center<\/a> and perform a small procedure which we had discussed earlier <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/local-business-center-google-maps\/\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Google-Maps-Listing-Statistics.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Google-Maps-Listing-Statistics.png?resize=470%2C127\" alt=\"Google Maps Listing Statistics\" title=\"Google Maps Listing Statistics\" width=\"470\" height=\"127\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Google-Maps-Listing-Statistics.png?w=470&amp;ssl=1 470w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Google-Maps-Listing-Statistics.png?resize=300%2C81&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Google-Maps-Listing-Statistics.png?resize=150%2C40&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Local Business Center would also give you Listing Statistics with information on the Total Impressions, Total Actions in the form of clicks, Top Search Queries and options to Improve your listing. Also the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/locate-nearby-destinations-online\/\">Search Nearby<\/a> option would also display your location listing sometime. Though all this information is applicable when you had added the Map details but if the Google Maps Car had taken your Home Photo then you need to perform the following process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Process to Remove House in Street View of Google Maps :<\/strong> In this section we are going to deal with the removal of any object from the Google Maps which includes your own Photo, house, pet, car etc. Google uses the Satellite view for most of the countries in order to get the locations snaps, but for locations in US, the Street View option allows anyone to view in 3D format along with almost real quality locations in detail. Hence for this process Google has been using different options like the Google Street View Car, Three Wheeler Bike, Snow Mobile Bike, Mini Van etc all of which run at different locations based on the environment and the needs as shown below.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Google-Maps-Snow-Mobile.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Google-Maps-Snow-Mobile-150x150.jpg?resize=150%2C150\" alt=\"Google Maps Snow Mobile\" title=\"Google Maps Snow Mobile\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Google-Maps-Bike.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Google-Maps-Bike-150x150.jpg?resize=150%2C150\" alt=\"Google Maps Bike\" title=\"Google Maps Bike\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Google-Maps-Vehicle.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Google-Maps-Vehicle-150x150.jpg?resize=150%2C150\" alt=\"Google Maps Vehicle\" title=\"Google Maps Vehicle\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You need to find the correct location of the area using the Google Maps and report it as mentioned below.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Go to Google Maps.<\/li>\n<li>In the Search field, type the street where your house (or activity) is located and press the Search Maps button.<\/li>\n<li>On the left side of the map you will see a vertical bar used to zoom in and out.
