Hi KLLC,
As EthicalInternetMarketing has correctly stated, having one phone number for multiple local businesses is not a good idea. Apart from it causing potential merging of your business details on the different listings and harming your ability to rank, Google can become very confused by citations listings 6 different business names with a single phone number. You must have a unique phone number and unique physical address for each business you list in Google+/Places.

Are these local locations in each of the areas? You will want a local phone number for each business location if you want to be the best in Google's eyes. Using one phone number with multiple addresses will create data confusion in Google's eyes and can adversely affect your Google Plus Local rankings. You can then add your 800 number to each location as a secondary phone number.
In a nutshell using one phone number is a bad idea.

I am unsure how practical that is but what is easily possible is getting some virtual or forwarding phone numbers so you can have a separate phone number. You can even do the same thing with an address if needed (in the UK at least).
That's some Friday 'outside of the box' thinking.
Hope that helps!

I found it a month ago or so for a (sort of) client who was having issues with their SIX businesses out of their home... they said it worked well but I didn't get to test it out myself.

Is getting listed on local directories useful for an online web site?
I recently came across Yext. Seems like a convenient service to get listed on local directories. Why I thought this would be useful are the backlinks, not necessary local searches. Are link juice good enough to justify spending the time to get listed? And what about getting listed on BBB.org?

Meta Tags for Images in Multiple Galleries
For a while now we've had an outside SEO consultant as well as having me in-house doing a variety of work. One of the things our consultant would do was writing up optimized alt & title tags for the image galleries on our ecommerce sites. Recently what came up was what to do when a image appears in multiple galleries (e.g. an image of a bedroom could appear in both the bedrooms gallery & the accent wall gallery). We're not sure whether it would be best practices to use the same exact alt & title tags for an image in all the galleries it appears in or whether that would be too much duplication and each gallery should have different tags despite being the same image. None of it is being done in a deceptive manner, we're just been tailoring how we explain the image based on the specific gallery, landing page, etc. Our consultant is saying that an image should always have the same tags across the entirety of the site but I'm more of the mind that varying them by specific page would help images more readily rank for multiple relevant terms. Any advice?

What are the best practices for optimizing a site for multiple locations?
I have a client that operates in multiple states. I am trying to find a way to best optimize their website, but all of the best practices for "local SEO" seem to be for things such as restaurants, small businesses, etc. I am looking for a way to optimize for the industry keywords as well as location. Any best practices/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How far away does your Google Local Listing Show up - and how to improve.
How does google decide if a listing from one city shows up in another? When I do a search for a lawyer in my city my competition from another town shows up - but I don't show up when I search their town. Only 3 listings show up for both searches - so it's not necessarily a rank thing. Any ideas on improving the distance your listings show up for? Thanks!

Google Maps Service Areas
Hi, is there a limit on the number of service areas I can choose for my Google place/map listing.? For optimization purposes should I include the whole state, or each specific city. My keyword for google maps is not very competitive and I want to cover a few different states , I have the time to put specific cities just not sure if there is a restriction on number of service areas. Cheers
