Hi David,
As Bede has mentioned, if you can provide a little more information, it would be helpful. Are you in control of both websites/businesses and their associated Google Place Pages? Please describe more fully what you are in control of and what your goals are. I'll look forward to your reply!

Hi David,
Can you clarify what you mean by "Sit under"?
Do you want the places listing to display barrettsteel.com as the web address?
Or, do you want the listing to show barettsteel.com as the web address and show up above the "normal" (non-local) result?

Do you or the owner have control of the Place page for this client? (see http://goo.gl/maps/WVxQ) You'll need to change the URL set as the website for this Place. Then it should hopefully show under the correct domain.
Something else you can do to help Google identify the geographical location of http://www.barrettsteel.com/ is to add schema.org Rich Snippets markup to the page, specifically to the address and other business details in the footer. You could use http://schema.org/Corporation or http://schema.org/LocalBusiness.
If you're not familiar with Rich Snippets this infographic is a good place to start, and you'll find some other great articles on SEOmoz if you want to dive deeper into the subject too. For help with your particular implementation, you should find all the guidance you need by getting familiar with schema.org and using the notes there.

Page missing from Google index
Hi all, One of our most important pages seems to be missing from the Google index. A number of our collections pages (e.g., http://perfectlinens.com/collections/size-king) are thin, so we've included a canonical reference in all of them to the main collection page (http://perfectlinens.com/collections/all). However, I don't see the main collection page in any Google search result. When I search using "info:http://perfectlinens.com/collections/all", the page displayed is our homepage. Why is this happening? The main collection page has a rel=canonical reference to itself (auto-generated by Shopify so I can't control that). Thanks! WUKeBVB

Keyword density question.
For instance, if the keyword I'm targeting on a specific page is "New Orleans", the Keyword is everywhere it's supposed to be, title, meta, content, internal links, etc, .... So when I check my most relative key words with different tools, it always breaks the word up like: new - 12 times 2.3% orleans - 12 times 2.3% Should I try to fix this? or is this normal? and does google view this as 1 keyword when evaluating my site?

How to re-claim Google Places listing?
I have 2 new clients whose Google Places pages were claimed & edited by other SEO companies. No info is available to me on the Google Accounts used to claim them. Both Places listings need significant edits. Is there a way to re-claim these listings with new Google Accounts, in order to edit/optimize them? Or, do I have to create new Places listings and then ask Google to delete the old ones? This situation must be occurring every day, it seems....

Google and QnA sites
My website has a QnA site - a bit like this one except it's not private to premium members. It is a page with a left colomn for category links and it has a list of recently asked questions, each question is a link to view the full question and answers etc. Does google know this is a QnA ? Or will it say - hey, there are far too many links on this page, tut tut. Is there anything I can do to help it understand what the page is.
