Is there something that I can do to get my listing back in Places?
-
My Google Places listing is not showing as of Friday. The business name is Emerald Coast Carpet Cleaning in Shalimar, Florida. The area that I'am trying to show for is the Fort Walton/ Destin area. All my competitors are still showing in Places but mine is not. I am still seeing it on the map though. I didn't change anything in the profile in the past 14 days. Is there something that I can do to get my listing back in Places?

I don't want to say; "Pigeon" but it may have been. It came on a little strong and things still seem to be up in the air, in some places. No one has really had the time to fully study this, but Blumenthal's blog has some interesting early observations. So maybe it just popped back into place.
I had some new, less than a month old, business listings drop out and come back in a slightly lower position where map packs are displayed.
NAP problems appear to be the likely culprit. There appears to be some significant NAP inconsistencies, both on and off-site. If you haven't already, I recommend taking a look at Miriam Ellis's posts. They're all quite practical and will answer a lot of questions.

Keep in mind that Google displays search results based on your search patterns. Try using https://duckduckgo.com and using the prefix !g before your search term to see unfiltered results ( !g Emerald Coast Carpet Cleaning ). This will search for your query on Google anonymously. Also, be sure to log out of your Google account(s) prior to using it.

Hi Revive Media!
I ran a quick search and found you as letter G.
Check out the screenshot I attached.
Maybe you need to clear your browser cache? There's some room for improvement being letter G of course. Do you have any local directory listings established? Maybe a service like Moz local or Yext will help give you a push?

Departments within businesses, universities, hospitals, and government institutions may have their own listings on Google.

Publicly-facing departments that operate as distinct entities should have their own page. The exact name of each department must be different from that of the main business and that of other departments. Typically such departments have a separate customer entrance and should each have distinct categories. Their hours may sometimes differ from those of the main business.
• Acceptable (as distinct listings):
o "Walmart Vision Center"
o "Sears Auto Center"
o "Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Dermatology"
• Not acceptable (as distinct listings):
o The Apple products section of Best Buy
o The hot food bar inside Whole Foods Market
For each department, the category that is the most representative of that department must be different from that of the main business and that of other departments.
• The main business "Wells Fargo" has the category "Bank" whereas the department "Wells Fargo Advisors" has the category "Financial Consultant"
• The main business "South Bay Toyota" has the category "Toyota Dealer" whereas the "South Bay Toyota Service & Parts" has the category "Auto Repair Shop" (plus the category "Auto Parts Store")
• The main business "GetGo" has the category "Convenience Store" (plus the category "Sandwich Shop") whereas the department "GetGo Fuel" has the category "Gas Station", and the department "WetGo" has the category "Car Wash"1 -

Multiple Business Listings at the same address - Negative or Positive?
Hi everyone Does anyone have any experience of working with multiple business listings at the same address? It's making me itch my head! I work for a travel agency and we have multiple websites for different holiday types/destinations. I want to add business listings for the businesses but I'm concerned that it could have negative effects from the businesses sharing the same address and sometimes the same phone number. Has anyone got any pointers on this, if will effect rankings or my SEO strategy. Thanks!

Google Local listing variations
Hi Moz People, I sometimes receive rich snippets (relating to my services) with my Google Local listing and other times I do not. Specifically, if I search my company name ("Marketing Implementation Clinic" as per Google+ Page name) I see the a list of services with the local listing (see the picture attached). However, if I search a derivation (say "Marketing Clinic Melbourne"") I see a very simple local listing without the services snippets. Are there explicit guidelines on when these snippets would be returned? LPk6tmq.png?1

Bing Listing Category For Law Firm?
What do people use for Bing Place's listing for a law firm? The only category I can find is a sub-category "legal services?" If that's all there is, then okay, easy question, but it seems odd they have no attorney specific categories like Google does. Am I missing something here? Thanks, Ruben
