I think we might need to update our post with this information. It makes sense too. Otherwise your competitors could easily wipe out your business info with a fake address and their phone number!

Everything you said in your post is valid and helpful. I would add one additional thing. After I submitted my business to google, I noticed that my business did not show up for a few months. Google called my office to verify the information (automated call) and the phone call ended with google saying that my listing would now show up. However it never did. What I found out was that google actually mails you a code to the mailing address listed, and you need to use that code to validate the listing before it shows up. Hope this is helpful to people.

Many restaurant/business owners don't think about this, but it should be a no-brainer. It's actually kinda annoying when I look something up and they aren't listed. Really good advice.
