Google Places Creation
-
Hello,
I am currently managing 200 clients for which I have to create Google Places.
Can I create 200 different places for each client, and manage all them from one Gmail account?
If one client doesn't want to continue the contract, can I transfer the managing of the place to another account?

Hey Miriam,
Thanks for your help. So I wanted to know can I open G+ Profile with clients domain name emails, and then with G+ to claim Google Local+ listing, because to open Google Local+ Page for client you first need to have G+ Profile account which I know thay cannot be open with any other domain name mails expect Gmail.

Hi Cvissi,
I strongly recommend that you do not attempt to claim any client's listings into your own account and that you do not claim multiple, unrelated businesses into a single account. Each client should be in control of his listing, even if you are the Local SEO on the project. My advice is to claim each listing individually, preferably into the client's domain name email. This will prevent major future headaches for you and your clients.

Right now the ability to transfer management of Google listings from one gmail account to another is not available. You would release the listing from your account and the new manager would have to find it on Maps and claim it in their gmail account.

I know things are changing as G+ Business pages roll out but the functionality you ask about has always been possible.The google places for business dashboard lets you add and verify all of your clients local profiles (but your authority to make changes to them has to be verified via phone call or post card verification to each client's business phone number or physical address).
At such a time that someone else would need to manage a client's places profile, the other party would simply add that client to their dashboard and verify they have authority to make changes by submitting for phone or postcard verification, receiving the pin that would provided in such verification communication, and inserting pin into their dashboard for that client.

Seeing different Google 3-Pack results on Android mobile browsers vs. IOS mobile browsers. Why is this?
I am researching new SEO recommendations in lieu of Google's controversial "3-Pack" update. I am noticing very different results in the Google 3-Pack on a android mobile browser when I do a local search query versus a query in apple mobile browser. For example if I do a Google search for "Seattle Sporting Goods" I am able to see direction links and full address numbers for businesses in the 3-Pack. However the same query on a Android phone provides only "teaser" street name results, no direction links but still shows business reviews. Is it possible that the 3-Pack update is still in flux? Shouldn't the Google 3-Pack show uniform results across all different mobile browsers? This could impact my SEO recommendations.

How do you fix a Google Places category issue?
I have a Google Places listing that has the category set to 'Garage Door Supplier', yet if you do a search in Maps on this same phrase and zoom into the area of the map where the business is located, it doesn't get flagged as a garage door supplier. If you just search on the business name, is does get flagged in the right location. I spoke with Google (yeah, an actual human) and they were baffled. The only suggestion they had was to try adding a few more categories to see if maybe that would force an update. Has anyone ran into this, and if so, did you find a fix?

Creating a custom google map with spreadsheet
Hi Hi, I recently saw the Seomoz Webinar "All About Google Places", and there was the advice to make a custom map with google spreadsheet. I tried it, but it hadn't worked.

Thank you! André

Will linking to my citation sources help google recognize them / credit my places account?
Or does google treat this behavior the same way as a reciprocal link and discount any credibility of the citation?

Local Search - New Business - 4 different Erroneous, Unverified Google Places Pages
My client is a new business <1 year old. Google has 4 unverified places pages for this business - all have slight errors in the business name and address. Which one should I claim? Will Google let me change the business name once I verify ownership? How will I get rid of the other listings once I claim and correct one of them? In light of these data errors and/or as a general rule do you recommend the paid submission services for UBL and Localeze (http://getlisted.org/resources/why-listing-services.aspx)? Thanks for the help! Jeff
