A listing’s state tells you whether it is awaiting review, visible to everyone, unavailable, or open to an ownership claim.

Common states

  • Pending: the submission or a recent change is waiting for review.
  • Hidden: the listing is not currently shown in normal discovery.
  • Rejected: the submitted version did not meet the content or evidence requirements.
  • Claimable: the public record has no confirmed manager and can receive an ownership claim.

What to do

  1. Open the listing from your personal or company workspace.
  2. Read the visible status and any user-facing guidance.
  3. Correct incomplete facts, broken official links, unclear ownership, duplicate content, or expired dates.
  4. Resubmit or use the claim/correction path where offered.

Creating a duplicate rarely solves a status problem. If you cannot access the original listing, send its URL and supporting evidence through feedback.
