This guide will show an easy way to add, change or remove the located inside of another place information from Google My Business Profile, with step by step screenshots.

“Located in” is a Google Maps feature and not Google Business Profile (ex-Google My Business) for those businesses that are inside another, per example restaurants in Hotels, Service departments in Auto Dealers or stores in a Shopping Mall:

Your business is “in” a State/Region/County instead of City

It is working as intended, it is up to Google Algorithm to decide what to show and you cannot manually change it if the information is correct.

Per the below example, the Plumber is in Tranent in Scotland but because it is on the outskirts, Google chose to show “Plumber” in Scotland instead of Plumber in Tranent.
