Google can't locate address

when trying to add a business listing

[JeremyL]

Today i was trying to add a business listing to Google local and got the following responses. Anyone ever run into this and did you find a solution?

Sorry, we can't locate the address you've entered. Please try again.
• Do not abbreviate 'Avenue,' 'Route,' or other designations.
• Check for misspellings and incorrect zip codes or states.

Sorry, we still can't locate the address you've entered.
Unfortunately, we're unable to add your listing to Google Local at this time.

What now?
We'll save your address in our system, continue to work on a solution, and send you an email at <snip> if we're able to locate your address. (Please note we can't guarantee any results.)

Have you verified that you are entering the correct address? Just to be on the safe side, check the USPS to be sure...

USPS - Zip+4 Lookup [zip4.usps.com]

Sometimes a client will swear that they are on a Street when in fact they are on an Avenue or vice versa.

The address is verified by that USPS website. I have tried both with and without the Lane on the street address.

Instead of Lane, try Ln

Are you able to locate that address in other mapping tools?

I tried it all. I can even look it up in maps.google.com.

But I finally got it to go through. I had to do the Zip+4. For some reason it wouldn't take it with just the 5 digit zip even though I could find it on maps.google.com with on the 5 digit zipcode and the form said I could use just the 5 digit code.
