Australian Service that Allows you to Control all your Local Listings
-
Hey,
After a few stumbles upon a variety of services that allows you to manage all your local listings from the one profile (the latest one was Yext.com).
It got me thinking - is there an Australian equivalent?
My research revealed nothing.
Thanks.

Hi Guys,
We are a "Local SEO" agency located in Manly, NSW.
We look after dozens of multi-location retail operations and found doing local listing management in Australia EXTREMELY frustrating as none of the services that are in the US serviced many of the AU citation sources, so, we built our own that can take bulk uploads and claim & make changes to Australian Citations.
Luke, drop us a line if you would like to know more or I can call you as I have your number from when you attended SMX Sydney a few years ago
Cheers
Barry

Hi Again,
I'm not sure if you're asking about Yext in the US or something else? If Yext, here is a basic description from TechCruch regarding the paid local listing management service Yext is offering:
http://techcrunch.com/2011/11/17/yext-powerlistings-30-000/
There has been some significant discussion in the Local SEO community in N. America regarding the value of this. Some business owners are quite willing to pay for the convenience of this service, while others find the price tag rather high.
Is this what you were asking about?

Thanks for your help.
How useful are these services in the US?

Hi Search Guys,
Thanks for giving me a little time to look into this. I am familiar primarily with Local in N. America, so I contacted Ash Nallawalla who is one of the better known Local SEOs in Australia. He replied that, at this point, he isn't aware of a Yext-type service for Australia, unfortunately. He also said that things are really Google Places-centric at this point in OZ. Sorry not to have a solution for you. For now, it looks like manual management is the way to go.

Hello Search Guys,
I am looking into this for you. I will return to this thread.

Local seo strategy for local gardening business ideas?
Hi all, I am just setting up a local organic garden maintenance business in my home town. I have set up the website, got social media accounts active (FB, Twitter and G+), set up google local listing (currently 5th in the local maps thingy), I have done loads of citations (many more than my competitors, but not a ridiculous amount), I've got 4 customer reviews on google so far, checked my DA against my competitors (mine 1, my comps 8-9), checked my comps links (less than 10) and been writing a blog on my website every couple of days. I realise the one thing I have against me is that my domain is just less than a month old. How long until google builds a bit of trust in it to see it come up in the serps? Also, I would love some ideas of what else I can be doing in the mean time. The idea here is to get the site rocking on all cylinders before the gardening season starts again in March. Do-able?

Google instantly suspends Google+ local listing of brand new company
I just tried to create a Google+ listing for a client. It's a brand new company. As soon as I submit the listing, I get an error message: "Google has suspended your page due to quality issues." There is no content on the listing, no website, etc. Just their NAP. All I can guess is their business address or phone number is on a blacklist due to some previous tenant/owner. Does Google keep a blacklist of addresses and/or phone numbers? Any other ideas?

Do random listings effect Google Local Rankings?
So my clients business name is "Photojennette Photography" and while researching citations to correct I have found a completely random issue. There's an actress named Jennette McCardy that apparently has a ton of photos on the internet and with that are page titles like "Brand New Photo : Jennette McCardy" and "Look at this Photo Jennette McCardy" My question is, would Google be sending my listing down because of this? It's completely random and has nothing to do with the business. Thanks in advance.

Google+ Local Page Wrong Categories
The "new" Google+ Local page for one of my clients is not showing the correct Business Categories. Seems like it reverted to an old Category before we revised. I looked in my Google Places dashboard and the correct Categories are there. They do not have a Google+ Profile yet. Any suggestions? They also seem to have disappeared for those categories we used to rank in the top three in Google Places results.

Does each listing in Google plcaes need a seperate URL?
Hi We have a client who has several car dealership fracnhises located located across two suburbs - so we are creating a places listing for each (with a separate address and phone number). My questions is should each location also have a separate URL (the dealership only has one website covering all locations). The Google guidelines state that you must; Website & Phone: Provide a phone number that connects to your individual business location as directly as possible, and provide one website that represents your individual business location. Use a local phone number instead of a call centre number whenever possible. Do not provide phone numbers or URLs that redirect or “refer” users to landing pages or phone numbers other than those of the actual business. Really appreciate any feedback!

Rejected Yahoo! Local Listing Submissions
I'm working for a nationwide agency that has local agents scattered throughout the nation. I manually inputted each agent's listing and over half of them were rejected. I'm trying to find the common denominators among those that were approved and those that were rejected, but I can't find any. Does anyone know a way to get all of these locations approved?

Multi-site listings in Google Local/Place pages
I've had problems with a client that is a local medical center with multiple sites/addresses. We've created a Place Page for each location and linked it to the location page on the client's website that matches the address on the Place page. But that means we're not linking to the medical center's home page -- and Google Places doesn't like that. I know this because after we'd owner-verified each Place Page, Google went in and just changed the website link that was a deep link to a location page and replaced it with a link to the home page. But now there's not an address match. How should we handle this? Related question: Does it make sense to claim a separate listing in Yelp and other local directories for each of the separate locations since they each have a unique address? Will Yelp & other local directories allow for links to non-home pages on the client's website?
