Waze
Waze is a community driven navigation app, owned by Google, that gives drivers real time traffic reports, road condition alerts, and turn by turn directions built from other drivers on the road.
Making sure a business appears the same everywhere Waze might draw location data from usually means fixing the same name, address, or hours across several directories and maps rather than editing Waze itself, since Waze has no business page to edit. A former Waze advertising domain now redirects back to the main Waze homepage, and nothing on the site shows a separate business signup Listings API could publish to. Listings API submits business data to key data aggregators and primary directories instead, helping distribute accurate information across the broader local search ecosystem. That is what keeps a business's name, category, address, phone, website, and hours consistent across the directories, maps, and aggregators that are actually part of your plan.
A few API calls keep that record aligned across the network. Listings API lets you:
- Create a location and have it go out to every directory, map, and aggregator your plan covers.
- Update the name, category, address, phone, website, or hours for that whole set with one call.
- Track publish status and read back the live listing URL for each citation that does publish.
What Listings API controls for Waze
One consistent citation record
Name, address, phone, hours, description, and categories are written once and stay identical across every directory, map, and aggregator in your plan, which are the sources Waze draws local business information from. Listings API submits business data to key data aggregators and primary directories, helping distribute accurate information across the broader local search ecosystem.
Publish status you can query
Per site publish state and live listing links are readable back through the API for every citation on your plan, so you can confirm the underlying record is live from the response rather than opening each directory.
Typed SDKs + MCP
Node.js and Python SDKs with full types, plus a hosted MCP server so agents and LLM tools can drive the same API.

Waze + Listings API
Can Listings API publish a business listing directly on Waze?
No. Waze has no business signup flow of its own. Waze populates its business data from Google Business Profile, so keeping your Google listing updated through Listings API keeps your Waze listing updated.
Does updating my citation record change what a driver sees near a business pin on Waze?
Yes. Waze populates its business data from Google Business Profile. Keep your Google Business Profile listing updated through Listings API and the details a driver sees near a business pin stay updated too.
How do I update a business's name, address, or hours across my citation network?
Send the changed fields to updateLocation. One call pushes the new name, address, phone, website, or hours to every citation your plan reaches, including Google Business Profile, which Waze populates its data from.
Do I need a Waze or Google account to use Listings API?
No. You authenticate every call with a single Listings API key, and no Waze or Google account is created as part of that. Listings API is an independent service and is not affiliated with Waze or its parent company, Google.
Are posts, review replies, or analytics available for Waze through Listings API?
No. Waze resolves a business from location data rather than a page with posts or comments to manage. Posts and review replies are supported on Google and Facebook only, and analytics come from Google, Bing, and Facebook, not Waze, through Listings API.
Which plan covers Waze in the citation network?
Waze sits within the Enterprise plan's citation network. Waze populates its data from Google Business Profile, so a location created under Enterprise keeps Google updated and Waze follows. Launch and Growth do not extend to Waze.
How does a listing reach Waze?
Waze populates its data from Google Business Profile. Keep your data updated on Google Business Profile and your Waze listing stays updated. Read the per publisher status with GET /api/v4/locations/{locationId}/listings/premium.
