Local SEO: What is the largest Google Places bulk upload you have ever done?
-
Hi All,
One of my clients recently requested my team at our agency to do a bulk up load of business locations.
We did the bulk upload and it came to around 652 or so locations in the form.
I have done some serious bulk uploads in the past around 500 locations but never this high.
My question is to SEO moz what is the largest bulk upload or single upload you have done on Google Places?

I just did a measly 14 yesterday. But I'm curious to learn about the batch uploads approval process.
How does Google verify and approve these? All manual review?
After upload it requires phone and email etc, but then shows a message in the dashboard to 'click request bulk verification' again. I thought i just initiated that? Would it be faster to do all manually, since it's just 14?
Do i need to click that link? Thanks...

Is specifying a floor descriptive enough for Google Places?
Hello everyone, I have a quick question regarding Google Places. I have a client who operates her business in a building with multiple other businesses. This address is completely legitimate and our client provides fitness services at this location. We have asked her for a more specific location, but she does not have a suite or room #. The best we can do is the floor #, but there are other businesses on her floor as well. Would this lack of specificity affect her ability to rank in local results? There are 4 other businesses at the address. If we provide strong and relevant citations, will this be enough? Thank you and my apologies if this has been asked before. I searched the previously asked question but didn't find what i was looking for.

Place pages
Anyone else having problems with google place pages? Create a page and then have it become merged with someone else's place page. Try to correct it to no avail? Try to delete it only to find that it still shows up?

Google local question - over optimization?
I run a law firm with multiple practice areas (bankruptcy, probate, estate planning, personal injury). I have a google places page with those categories listed. I recently spoke with an seo company (that cold called me...) that told me that it was "black hat" to try to optimize a local campaign for more than one of those practice areas. That doesn't seem right to me. Any thoughts?

How can I segment traffic in GA referred by my google places listing?
Apart from using a parameter in my url, how can i segment the traffic that comes from my google places listing from the google serp (not google maps). It'd be nice if you can specify a display url and destination url in places profiles like you can with adwords. cheers! marc
