Google + with multiple locations
-
Hi guys,
So I want to make a google + page for my business, which basically lets people find and compare multiple airport shuttle, limo and transfer companies to find the one that is available and best suits their budget.
Being that these shuttle services are throughout the country, when I create the google + page I need to choose multiple locations.
Anyone know how to go about this, or the best way to do it?Thanks so much
Regards,

Hi Miriam,
Thanks so much - will have a read of that article

Hi Cash Champion,
So, this sounds like you would be allowed to have a Google+ business page for your overall organization, but not a Google+ Local page for your individual locations as your business isn't actually local. For more information on the differences, here's Danny Sullivan's article from last November, written upon the rollout of these features:

Hi Mirian,
It s site that operates like a flight comparison tool, but rather for airport shuttle services.
So it lists, compares, and lets people book airport shuttle services throughout the country. It is a virtual business, but the businesses it compares and lets people book are location specific -
Hi Marc,
Is your business virtual, or do you have in-person contact with clients either at your location or theirs? From your description of your comparison engine, this sounds rather like a virtual business, in which case, it wouldn't qualify for participation in Local SEO, even if it gives information about other local businesses. It's important to first establish whether you qualify for local inclusion. Do you have further information to provide on this?

OK, cool.
I'll give it a gothanks

Yes, but remember to write unique content / post for each one.

Hi and thanks for the response.
OK, so I would make multiple google + pages, even though its the same name just the location is different. So I would have TNT co New York, TNT co Chicago, TNT co Las Vegas, etc.?
-
I think the best way is create an unique business page for each location, and create unique content / links from each one.

Adding panoramio to google places
I recently watched a webinar on seomoz that said that panoramio was great for local search and that you should upload photos into google places from panoramio. I have tried it several times and on several different computers and have got the same response: We are unable to store your image at this time. Does anyone know why this is? Thanks. David

Google+ Local Page Wrong Categories
The "new" Google+ Local page for one of my clients is not showing the correct Business Categories. Seems like it reverted to an old Category before we revised. I looked in my Google Places dashboard and the correct Categories are there. They do not have a Google+ Profile yet. Any suggestions? They also seem to have disappeared for those categories we used to rank in the top three in Google Places results.

How quick do you see google places rankings update
We have submitted allot of citations over the last 60 days for a client. A very prominent business in their city. Pretty good SEO rankings considering we just started doing SEO a couple months ago. Over the last several weeks we have fixed all listings and removed duplicates. Site is optimized properly and etc.. After how many weeks should I see a change in places rankings? Right now they are not moving up at all.

Google Local Result - wrong decription
A client's description in their Google Places result is incorrect. It looks as though it may have been cached several months ago with incorrect data. Note: By description I am referring to the text that appears directly under the URL and directly above the "places page" link on a results page, not the local listing "description". Any suggestions as to how this can be fixed? All the information on their local page is correct. The website's meta-description is correct. The organic results listing has the correct description. Any tips would be awesome. Thanks,

What are the best practices for Google Places for a manufacturer?
A manufacturing client has distributors around the world. Can I add these distributors to my client's Google Places account through the bulk upload feature? Is there a better way to ensure that people searching in the company's various territories see a Google Places entry for the appropriate distributor?

Google local - is 7 pack really gone
According to a searchengineland post, Google has replaced "7 pack" results. But they are still appearing for local queries. Like for query "pizza restaurant new delhi" ( in Google.co.in ), i can still see 7 pack results. Has local and general search algorithms merged ?

What impact will Google removing 3rd party citations from listings have on citations being ranking factors?
So now that Google are going to remove 3rd party citations from listings, will they still carry the same weight for local rankings or will this be reduced? If so, how much and when?
