Moving a business' location in OSM? (sopuli.xyz)

I have always been real good about ensuring my business and the surrounding businesses (and other locations) are up to date in Apple, Bing, and Google Maps. I just started looking at OpenStreet Maps and see it has not been updated in over 3 years (and 2 locations ago). I updated the address, but the marker did not move. I do not see a way to move the marker to the correct location.

I am guessing I need to move all of the info (most of it is inaccurate) to where my business is currently located and then mark the old location as closed, or is there a better way to do that?

@nokturne213 @pietervdvn @organicmaps updates the map once a month

@mcliquid @nokturne213 @pietervdvn The goal is to update at least weekly, maybe even more often. More donations = more money to scale the development and server load = more cool features, including more frequent updates.

As MC dev, I'm a bit curious on how your data pipeline works. Is there some documentation around for this?

@pietervdvn there is some documentation on GitHub.
