Google+ Business page just not showing :-(

[Nightwing]

Good morning from Pollen level moderate wetherby UK pass me another Benadryl Plus wetherby UK

Having jumped into the world of Google plus my objective was to create a business page that would appear when the Google+ serp is clicked on. Unfortunately my labour & toil has not paid off

Having created a Google+ business page & set it to default ( I think ) it still points to the vanilla Google+ page.

Below is my frustration chartered in three sraeps

So my questiuon is please -

"How do i get the business page to be the default everytime a user clicks on the Google + link in the SERPS?"

Any insights welcome

Hi Nightwing,

Nice to see you here. My advice is to wait for the promised merge and see where you're at then. In the meantime, you can submit your email address to Google to be notified of the merge. Here's the link to the form:

Hope this helps!

Thanks Marcus, Yes i did fee the Google places listing was conflicting with the Google+ product, damn frustrating. Me thinks I'll take your advice and back off for a while and see if things untangle

It looks like a duplicate and I can see you have not claimed it so...

• Claim that duplicate listing

• then manage it and either delete it or inform them.

ALTERNATIVELY

• claim the duplicate listing and edit it to your liking

• delete the original one

You could just leave it, they may sort this out as the Google Places to Google+ migration has been a bit of a mess, in the UK at least. We had a duplicate page created but they seem to have sorted it out now and merged the google brand page with the copied over Google Places page so... it sorted itself out without our intervention.

Google places / local for business is a bit of a mess. Loads of potential and hopefully the new maps system from Apple may provide them with some real competition and a reason to not make such a bloody mess of things.
