I was recently working on claiming a Google Places listing for a client when I ran into an issue (not my first Google Places issue – but the best one yet!). As I tried to claim the listing I received an error – so I went to the highlighted field. It said “Arizona”. Ok, what could be wrong with the state?
I read the error over and over puzzled – “No such State/Province in this country. Please enter a valid State name (or Province name)”. Next, I thought maybe the country was set wrong – nope – it said good ‘ol U.S. of A… Maybe the zip code? Wrong-o, it was right.
Final conclusion, Google is trying to take over the world by dictating which states are legit now.
