Google Places Creation
-
Hello,
I am currently managing 200 clients for which I have to create Google Places.
Can I create 200 different places for each client, and manage all them from one Gmail account?
If one client doesn't want to continue the contract, can I transfer the managing of the place to another account?

Hey Miriam,
Thanks for your help. So I wanted to know can I open G+ Profile with clients domain name emails, and then with G+ to claim Google Local+ listing, because to open Google Local+ Page for client you first need to have G+ Profile account which I know thay cannot be open with any other domain name mails expect Gmail.

Hi Cvissi,
I strongly recommend that you do not attempt to claim any client's listings into your own account and that you do not claim multiple, unrelated businesses into a single account. Each client should be in control of his listing, even if you are the Local SEO on the project. My advice is to claim each listing individually, preferably into the client's domain name email. This will prevent major future headaches for you and your clients.

Right now the ability to transfer management of Google listings from one gmail account to another is not available. You would release the listing from your account and the new manager would have to find it on Maps and claim it in their gmail account.

I know things are changing as G+ Business pages roll out but the functionality you ask about has always been possible.The google places for business dashboard lets you add and verify all of your clients local profiles (but your authority to make changes to them has to be verified via phone call or post card verification to each client's business phone number or physical address).
At such a time that someone else would need to manage a client's places profile, the other party would simply add that client to their dashboard and verify they have authority to make changes by submitting for phone or postcard verification, receiving the pin that would provided in such verification communication, and inserting pin into their dashboard for that client.

Google.com country redirection
As we all know, Google redirected the user based on location automatically.

e.g., connect to www.google.com from Korea, google automatically redirected to www.google.co.kr
However, for sometimes I noticed that if I connect to www.google.com, it doesn't redirect to local google anymore. I tested by using VPN, and seems like Google no longer do location redirection. Does anyone have any idea about this?0 -

Google Maps/Places in Organic SERP
This question is regarding having a Google Places snippet consisting of your business location and opening hours appearing in Google SERP when the business name is searched for. One of our competitors who has a location within their name e.g. 'Widgets of Oxford' have a Google Places snippet appear on the RHS of the search results (where Google Ads usually go) when searched for. We are trying to replicate this for our business but cannot seem to find any information relating to doing this apart from that this only appears for them as they have a location in their name. This is because we see a similar snippet when we search for our business name in the format "OurBusinessName in OurLocation). Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Getting indexed into Google video search
I have a website that has videos hosted from youtube.com embedded onto it. I created and uploaded the videos to youtube and want them on my website. My question is which would be a better option, hosting the video on my website or embed them from youtube? I currently have them embedded onto youtube but when I do a Google video search I cannot find my company's website anywhere. My videos are shown on the results but they are linked to youtube and not my website. Is there a way to get the search results to show listing of the videos posted on my website?

Placing video testimonials on website vs. YouTube
We have produced a number of video guest testimonials. Any SEO considerations or other hosting it on our website (what software to use?) vs. YouTube (and just embedding it on the webpage)? Are there certain situation or circumstances when YouTube is not the best choice for placing video on a website? Thanks.
