Google+ Business page just not showing :-(
-
Good morning from Pollen level moderate wetherby UK pass me another Benadryl Plus wetherby UK
Having jumped into the world of Google plus my objective was to create a business page that would appear when the Google+ serp is clicked on. Unfortunately my labour & toil has not paid off
Having created a Google+ business page & set it to default ( I think ) it still points to the vanilla Google+ page.
Below is my frustration chartered in three sraeps

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/business-page-built-hodgson-plus-step-3.jpg
So my questiuon is please -
"How do i get the business page to be the default everytime a user clicks on the Google + link in the SERPS?"
Any insights welcome

Hi Nightwing,
Nice to see you here. My advice is to wait for the promised merge and see where you're at then. In the meantime, you can submit your email address to Google to be notified of the merge. Here's the link to the form:

Hope this helps!

Thanks Marcus, Yes i did fee the Google places listing was conflicting with the Google+ product, damn frustrating. Me thinks I'll take your advice and back off for a while and see if things untangle
-
It looks like a duplicate and I can see you have not claimed it so...
-
Claim that duplicate listing
-
then manage it and either delete it or inform them.
ALTERNATIVELY
-
claim the duplicate listing and edit it to your liking
-
delete the original one
You could just leave it, they may sort this out as the Google Places to Google+ migration has been a bit of a mess, in the UK at least. We had a duplicate page created but they seem to have sorted it out now and merged the google brand page with the copied over Google Places page so... it sorted itself out without our intervention.
Google places / local for business is a bit of a mess. Loads of potential and hopefully the new maps system from Apple may provide them with some real competition and a reason to not make such a bloody mess of things.

Facebook doesn't "read" pages: 206 responsecode: Could not retrieve data from URL
Hello, Since shortly, every page of our website ecoheating.be doesn't get "read" by Google. So when you paste a page in Facebook, he doesn't get the title, description, image... FB Debugger says there's a 206 Error code (check attachment). A lot of changes are done the last weeks on this site so perhaps something is misconfigured. But what could this be? I've already check the htaccess and nothing there... Thanks, 0cphxGt

Is opening multiple Facebook pages a good strategy?
I currently operate a Facebook page with ~4,000 fans who are fairly active. In the nearby future I am planning on opening up websites in my most important target locations (mostly for legal reasons) We offer several worldwide products that are extremely popular and not all represented on Facebook. Given the above background info, my questions are: Is it worthwhile to open and build up Facebook channels per language Is it worthwhile to open and build up Facebook channels per "product" What are the SEO implications of each in addition to improving our social profile. thanks!

Google Auth and brands/individuals problem
So you can auth pages with personal google+ profiles - and its being suggested by some that this could now help rankings if that person has lots of people in their circles. So what about brand/companies content? why cant they auth the content with their Google+ profile to get the content ranking better. It doesn't seem right an individual blogger can do this but a company cannot who has written lots of guides. An example is a holiday company has written some awesome content on resorts around the World - how to use the auth for that content to rank higher? - currently only possible to link up an individual as writing the content not the brand/company itself. Any suggestions on this much appreciated. I do not want to lose any gain there might be from this new bonus given from Google.

Will Google maintain its search engine power?
Reading through the SEOmoz threads, and also other forums, I can't help but notice that the majority of material covered is about SEO & SERP, white hat & black hat linking, social media blogs and articles, etc, etc. Everyone trying to scramble to the top of their market via Google. If Google brought out a release saying that hopping down the street naked & having a neighbour googling that you had, for improved SERP ratings, would produce a weird downtown scenario. What I am asking, is this: Does Google have too much power in determining to the world what is correct and what is not as a corporation. And are they and what they have a passing phase, or will they lose their dominance like Microsoft etc through technical change?
