"state" abbreviation in Google My Business for Irish/UK locations

[AdiRste]

Hi guys

I have a question about one of the required bulk upload fields for Google My Business Locations: "State".

We are covering Ireland and the UK and we don't have states, more provinces and counties. Any ideas what to enter in to this field? For example, for a shop in Dublin Ireland should it be Dublin (the county) Leinster (the provence) for the "State" field? And how are these abbreviated? Should I just enter IE or GB for all entries in the state field?

Hi There,

I'm so sorry, but I've never marketed a business in the UK or Ireland. If you don't receive a response from a UK marketer in the community, I recommend taking your question to Google's own Google My Business forum:

You are certain to get an answer there.
