Issues claiming businesses via Google+ places?
-
Is anyone else dealing with issues claiming a business location on Google places?
After already going through the process of claiming our business locations and verifying ownership. It seems that we have to do it again for google+ places.
I don't want to create a duplicate of the business, and i'm not sure If I should delete it from my places account, before trying to claim it again on google places.
Have you dealt with this issue, or is it new to you as well?

Hi Cyril,
Owner verification checkmarks have not been transferred to the new Google+ Local pages. I recommend reading this Google And Your Business Forum thread on this topic:

I think that will really clear this mystery up for you!

Lol let me know so I can send Google a bill too.
I was out of Google Places for about 2 or 3 months, then I show up with another company address and phone number and etc. A lot of issues.
4 months after I'm start getting ranking again, but now the reviews appear and disappears from time to time. Customers can't leave me reviews at this time.
I hope it works faster for you... Good luck!

Thanks for your response Rafael,
I assumed as much.
I'll try to wait it out. If I directly loose dollars, can I send google a bill?
Or should I shut up and be happy Google doesn't send me one for all their free services?
Peace

I think Google Places is slow because on the transition to Google+ Places, I'm having issues with the reviews don't show sometimes, wrong information listed, mixed information from another listed. Give them some time about 3 or 4 weeks if not then contact google support.

Hey Nathan,
I have submitted the little form via google places ... however.
The main reason I had to claim again was because my location got hi-jacked by some other jerk. Which I didn't think was possible. I've had this location owned and verified for years, but not until google+ went hyper local places on me did the change occur. See Links...

So in trying to claim my listings again, I've gotten the verification pin in the mail, added it, but still no confirmation that I own the location

You should not have to claim again.
Have you already contacted google support? It takes for ever to get resolution to issues however once you have a trouble ticket started you will typically be able to email directly.

Google+ Local/Places isn't displaying my suite #. Should I leave it out of NAP on other directories, too?
HI All, For some reason Google is not displaying the suite # for a client of mine in Google+ / Places. I've entered the suite # in the back-end of Google+ / Places and it shows there when I log in, but the public version of the listing omits it. So the question is, should the NAP in other directories omit it as well? Google knows it exists, but is choosing not to publish it... Thanks! Zack

Getting a Google Places listing verified on an automated phone system.
I've been having issues getting my Google Places/+ listing verified as we have an automatic phone system. If you call our office you have to dial a number to reach an actual human being or before you can leave a message. Whenever the Google Bot calls we aren't able to receive our Google Place verification code. Currently.. there is no option to send a postcard.. which is weird because for awhile that was the only option. Has anyone had any success on an automated phone system & how did you do it? Thanks!

How to optimize for a business in a town that nobody is searching for
This is the first time I have run into this problem, but hopefully someone can answer this. If a business is located in lets say in South Londonery, but everyone is searching for Londery what is the best way to tackle this. I should also add that both have different zip codes but as far as search there is no distinction as they are considered the same, and South Londonery is never used. So while it would be easy to rank high for South Londonery, it's pretty much useless.

Appering in both Google Places and regular SERP at the same time
Hi all! My question is: if a search query gives 2 regular results, then the Google Places results, then 8 more results on the first page, is it possible for a website to appear in both in the regular listing, and in the Google Places listing at the same time? In other words: if I do everything well, can my website be the first result, and also be one of the results in the Places listing as well? Or does a website only either apper in the regular listing or in the Places listing? Thanks for the answers!

UBL (Universal Business Listing) Alternatives?
I use both UBL (universal business listing) and LocalEZE to submit local listing information. UBL submits to the big database companies but LocalEZE has direct relationships with many of the local listing sites. UBL says they submit to LocalEZE but my LocalEZE agent just told me that they don't publish data from UBL so I basically have been lied to by UBL for a year saying they use LocalEZE to publish as well. I feel companies have a responsibility to make ethical business decisions and I don't know how comfortable I am using UBL. Does anyone have any recommendaitons for providers other than UBL for mass local listing data submission?

Google Places and Multiple Locations
Hi, I have a client with 3 different physical locations but only 1 phone number for his business. Does anyone know if Google Places will penalize me for duplicate listings due to having the same phone number or will I be ok if I have a different physical addresses per listing? Thanks, -Carlos
