How to Reopen a Temporarily Closed Location on Google

As campuses and schools around the country closed as a result of COVID-19, their listing on Google might have been automatically changed to “Temporarily Closed”. Many of these schools will still have the Temporarily Closed listing after re-opening, which can be confusing for students and their families. Today, we’re going to quickly show you how to change the status of your school from “temporarily closed” to “open”.
