Google+ Local Assistance (Listings being reviewed)

[edwardrj]

Hey guys,

My client is having issues with his Google+ pages and I'm wondering if someone can shine some light on the issue for me...

Basically the client has two businesses, both using the same residential address. The page was ranking well until a week ago, when it disappeared from search results and was listed in the dashboard as "Under Review."

I've heard horror stories about this -- examples of Google taking months to review pages and make a decision, and I'm wondering if if might be better to just delete the under review pages and start over (hiding the address on the new listing to comply).

That's what I thought. Thank you.

Edward, yep i'd delete those listings and start afresh hiding the address.

More info on this excellent post   Do not rely on the Google review process, very unreliable.

Thanks - I know the guidelines, but did not know the business was located in a residential area, and am wondering where to go from here -- delete and start over, or wait for Google. I've heard horror stories on the waiting process.

If the business is a service provider (We come to you, only), and the residential building is just where the service provider lives.. Then you must hide the address in your Google Places settings.

Did you lose organic results or Google Places results?
