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.

Right hand side Google Local profile image pulling from 3rd party site
Hello! When googling our company's name, the Google Local profile comes up on the right hand side with the reviews, address, phone number, etc. Those are all fine but the main photo being used is not the one specified in the Google My Business profile but it seems to be pulling from a 3rd party site that recently added a link and an image to our website. Why is this happening and can we specify the image that shows up? Your help will be very much appreciated!!!

Thoughts on Google's New NAP Dispaly on Google+ Local
Hi, Do you think ACTION needs to happen based on Google's new NAP formatting change? They are changing Suite or STE to #. So for example 265 Racine Dr #100 Wilmington, NC 28403 Even if you enter in Suite they change it to pound. I am wondering the thoughts of the community of the following: 1. Do you think Google knows that STE, Suite, and # are all the same 2. Do you feel that we need to change ALL online local business listings and our website to match this change. 3. Here is the letter from Google on the matter FROM GOOGLE: Thanks for informing us about your address appearing differently on your local Google+ page than it does on your dashboard. After looking further, we've determined that 240 Stockton St #300 San Francisco, CA 94108 is an appropriate way for your listing to be displayed. Note that the address on your page might be different from what you've input into your dashboard. Our processes might alter user-input addresses to make them more standardized and easier for users to access. Thanks for understanding. Best, Nathan

Reasons for store not showing up on Google?
Hi my client has a store which is not showing up on Google search results. E.g. if you looked up store name and store location on Google, all the stores in that particular city show up except one. Also even if you click the: More results near CITY, and State the stores listing still doesn't show up. So for some reason Google has excluded the store from Google search. But if you go to Google Maps directly, and type in the same keyword "STORE NAME CITY" the store is displayed and there. Does anyone know any reason why the store has been excluded from Google search results, but is listed successfully on Google Maps.

Google Image Search?
We get very little search traffic from the images on our site & I can't necessarily figure out why? We post a ton & tag them correctly, we've got to be missing something? We are a Wordpress blog, can anyone provide some quality articles on Image search or have suggestions that should help to get more traffic? Our site does fairly well, as we get over 100k/visits a month, so we'd really like to get more traffic from our images.

Confused about Google+ Local vs Google Places
If you're doing SEO for a new local business that currently does not have a Google Places listing (or a Google+ Local page), do you have to set up both for them? Or do you simply create the Google Places listing and wait for Google to merge it to a Google+ Local page? I am so confused!

Genuine Reciprocal Google Places Reviews, is that OK?
I have a client who works with other businesses, is it OK to have reciprocal reviews going on, they would be genuine reviews both both sides as they work for each other. Is that OK? Is it best for my client to use the Google Account that holds their Google Places page for doing the reviews? Or should they have a separate account for writing reviews, not associated with their business? I would appreciate your thoughts on this please? Many thanks Leo

301 Redirect affects Google Places Listing?
Hi, A client of ours has a Google Places Listing but over the last few days we noticed that two duplicate listings have appeared with exactly the same information as the original listing. Only difference is the domain names. I did some investigation and my client says that a company cold called them recently and sold them two domain names www.bandbinbanbury.co.uk andwww.accommodationinbanbury.co.uk and it seems these two are redirecting to the main site which sits on www.hanwellhouse.com My question is can this cause that the redirected listing now appear instead of the original google places listing? Any help will be appreciated
