There is no doubt that Google Maps is an amazing application, but it is not perfect. Every now and then you discover a place that does not exist on Google Maps. You can improve the service by adding it yourself.
Anyone can add a place to Google Maps, but that doesn't mean your edit will be accepted. Google verifies the addition, as you may have reported something wrong. It's very common for map additions to be rejected. See below for exactly what you need to do.
