Google+/Business listing on maps - wrong streetview image?

[Draeger]

Hi,

I've set up a basic website for a friends business and on the 'Contact Us' page we have his business premises pinpointed on Google maps. However, the 'Streetview' photo unfortunately shows the premises a few months before they opened and the image is one of the premises being renovated, with a skip in the front of the building! Not ideal, obviously!

Anyway, I did a quick bit of digging on this and I understand that its outwith an individuals control as far as updating the photo that Google Streetview chooses to display. But is there anyway I can upload an image to replace that one as i note it does show an 'add a photo' option? Or can I edit a setting somewhere which sets it so that when someone searches for the business on Google Maps, the Streetview image is disabled and doesnt display?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

As far as I'm aware, the best you can do is link from their website to a photo of the premises (you can upload your own photos to that location). But, if someone searches and they come up in the business/map results on Google, then Google will just show that current street view.

It's full of bugs, I'm trying to get it to accept my county but it's been 3 weeks of trying and no success
