Is my Google Places page ok?

[PMC-312087]

Hey everyone,

Google Places is incredibly frustrating for me. One day we are listed, the next we are gone. If I am logged in to my Gmail we rank differently altogether. I have a few questions...

http://maps.google.com/maps/place?hl=en&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1421&bih=726&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=pet+medical+center+of+las+vegas&fb=1&gl=us&hq=pet+medical+center+of&hnear=0x80beb782a4f57dd1:0x3accd5e6d5b379a3,Las+Vegas,+NV&cid=13431404354265657899&ei=wbQITujpFpSLsALbuenkDQ&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=placepage-link&resnum=1&ved=0CCoQ4gkwAA

• First off, does the page look to be optimized for the best results? Trying to rank for vet las vegas (ideally. Any tips or thoughts?
• Are there any sites that will track your rankings in Google Places for different listings?
• Is my places description ok?
• How often does Google Places update their listings - find new reviews, update their "find our more about this place" section, etc.?

Anything else?

Thanks for your help!

I recently read about a phenomenon called "google places purgatory" basically this is when your listings are all active and have no suspension or holds but still you cant seem to see any activity on that listing. This happened to two of my listings.

Many of the suggestions were to delete the "broken" places ad and start over.

Still tracking the result of this.

I'll let you know if i find anything significant.

Just a note that your results for EVERYTHING (not just places) will be different if you are logged into gmail. If you're not using Safari as a browser, I suggest downloading it and using it to check what the SERPs look like. It has a great feature under the edit menu where you can Reset Safari and clear cache, cookies, history, etc. to get a cleaner search result.
