Hi Mnkpso,
So glad you found my answer helpful. Yes, deletion of duplicate listings is very important because the existence of them detracts from you sending a single, strong, correct signal to search engines like Google. If you have just one physical address and phone number, you want only one listing in each of the major indexes and directories. Cleaning up duplicates will definitely be an important part in your efforts to achieve high rankings. It can be hard work, but stick with it!

Good Morning Mnkpso,
According to GetListed. org:
"Listing score is a 100 point scale that approximates how effectively you are taking advantage of free online business listings".
My understanding is that this takes into account whether you've claimed and fully filled out your listings at all of the sites in the GetListed index of important sites. So, while having a high listing score at GetListed does not actually determine your rankings (GetListed doesn't feed data to the search engines - it merely represents how you are listed), looking at the listing score is a good way to gauge whether you've made minimum, moderate or maximum effort towards getting your business listed. If you have a low score, you have many more opportunities to take advantage of for the benefit of your business.
Citations play a major role in rankings, so the more diverse and complete yours are, the better your chances of ranking well.

What are tips for ranking on Google Maps?
I have another thread going where everyone is saying to keep both the Places profile as well as the Google Plus Local profile I have for my company. I have another person telling me that it has a negative effect to have both accounts at the same time so I'm assuming thats why the listing never comes up on places unless you zoom all the way into the map to the address of the storefront. With that being said, can anyone provide some good tips for ranking first page on google maps?

Does the Search Algorithm vary considerably locally?
Hey, i am from india and I just noticed that most of our searches are extremely different to those from the gooogle.com searches. Not some searches. I mean entire layouts. For instance, there were no google places in the search results in India. There was hardly any integration with the G+ for a long time after it launched, even though a large population on G+ was Indian. I got thinking on these lines. Any pointers?

Privacy page ranking above home page in serps
I'm using OSE to try and get some clues as to why my privacy page would rank higher than my home page. Could anyone help me figure out which metrics to review to rectify the issue?

Multiple Listings in Results fading Local SEO
Lately I am noticing multiple listings for results seem to be fading away. Example is one domain being listed twice for a search phrase The Home page for example and an Internal Page. Is anyone else seeing this? Safe to say Google wants to see 10+ individual domains per results page?

SEO updates and rank changes
We have been updating page titles and meta descriptions for a client (not changing ANY links and the content we are replacing is "fluff," no major keywords or any relevant information) yet in the past few weeks, rankings have plummeted. I used the SEOMoz grader to check and make sure we have the keywords in there, in the right places for the updated page source info, and we're getting A's yet for those same keywords, the website is nowhere to be found. For example for the phrase "organic t shirts," we get an A for this page: http://greenpromotionalitems.com/organic-t-shirts.htm but when searching organic t shirts, no Green Promotional Items... Ideas?

Why have I lost rankings for my top 10+ keywords
Hello, As of 04/24/11 I have lost rankings for my top 10+ keywords in an extremely competitive market. I was ranking on page 1 in Google for keywords like: iphone app reviews, ipad app reviews, iphone app videos, ipad app videos, and more. Since 04/24 I have fallen off the first 10 pages + in Google for all major keyword & keyword terms. I have identified that I have 1,359 articles from prmac, which contain links to customers who published press releases through prmac. We are in the process of removing these pages, but creating a list of urls to prove to Google the possibly offending blog posts are gone. Beyond that I am not sure what else to do, please help.
