Removing an old Google places listing for a newer version?
-
Hey there,
I was wondering whether you could help me out on the following;
One of our clients has a Google places listing that we created for their business but it appears to be being blocked - or at least conflicting - with an old listing.
As such, Google appears to be showing the old listing with an outdated URL and company name - rather than the new one. Does anyone know how I can go about removing this listing or showing that the newer one is now more relevant?
Unfortunately, I don't have the logins for the old places listing.
Old listing; https://plus.google.com/105224923085379238289
New listing; https://plus.google.com/b/114641937407677713536/114641937407677713536

Hi Paul,
I suggest you read this read at the Google and Your Business Forum:
Hope it will help!

You'd have to reclaim the domain login for Places.
Which would just mean setting up a new piece of code on the site. Then replace as per normal.
I don't know of any other way. I seem to recall an option for users to say this place has been closed but maybe that was in another dream ... sorry!

Google asking questions in SERPs
I just did s search for Hayley Kiyoko, and Google asked me which song is my favourite from her new album. Is this a new thing? I've never asked Google a question before and had it ask me something back, other than "did you mean... (the correct spelling for what I was looking for)?" u6qYnwq.png

Google & Site Architecture
Hi I've been reading the following article about Google's quality signals here: https://searchenginewatch.com/2016/10/10/guide-to-google-ranking-signals-part-6-trust-authority-and-expertise/?utm_source=Search+Engine+Watch&utm_campaign=464594db7c-11_10_2016_NL&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e118661359-464594db7c-17828341 They mention - 3) All your categories should be accessible from the main menu. All your web pages should be labelled with the relevant categories. Is this every category? We have some say 3 levels deep, and they aren't all in the menu. I'd like them to be, so would be good to make a case for it. Thank you

Wrong Google pin locations
Did something happen recently that would affect pin locations on Google Maps? I've been updating Google Places pages, but not touching the address or pins - but I received a phone call from one of my locations that their pin location changed in the past month and now it is wrong. Meanwhile, another department recently had MomentFeed update the pins for accuracy. Thoughts?

Google new update question
I was just reading this, http://www.entrepreneur.com/blog/220662 We have our official site, which has 200+ service pages, which we wrote once and we keep doing SEO for them, so they rank high all the time. Now my question is, how does Google handle the site freshness ? Service static pages or if we are adding blog items, then also they consider them as fresh site, right ? So, we dont have to update those service pages, right ?
