  How do I get google to index review sites for Google Places?
  

  Some of our competitors are ranking higher than we are in google places due to a larger variety of review sites.  Google is picking up reviews for them on certain review sites such as yelp.com or projectwedding.com.  We have a lot of reviews on those sites also, but google is not picking those reviews up for us.  I checked and verified that the phone number and address is exactly correct and has the exact same formatting on all the sites, but google still hasn't picked up those reviews for us.  I've waited a couple months now and still nothing. Is there anything I'm missing?

  Using 1 main site for many branch office locations
  

  I have 1 main site with many many city/state pages within the site. I would like to use this site as the 'website' on the google local places pages for all my branch office locations, however I am worried that if my domain authority isn't high enough for the site, google will think I am spamming 'google places'. Are there any best practices I can follow to do this? Ideally I would like my blended search to show www.site.com/boston not as www.site.com

  How do I get Google Places to pick up my reviews from other sites?
  

  I have reviews on Yelp, Insiderpages.com, and Citysearch.  All of my contact information matches up, but Google does not seem to be finding them and adding them to my Google Places page.  Is there anything I need to do to make this happen?
