Hi All
I am having trouble getting my business listing on the right hand side of the page for branded google searches.
I have added the rel publisher tag to my website and have also connected my website through my google business profile. It shows as verified on my google+ page but it still does not appear.
Can anyone offer some advice?
Kind Regards

You're welcome both! We can always count on Mike to provide the most awesome answer to any Local question, eh?

Great thing to add to the bookmarks! Thanks Miriam. It's nice to get some numbers associated with my, "...if the brand isn't well-recognized," answer. Cheers!

Thanks Miriam! I knew there was a good post about it but thought it was at Mike's and could not find it. That's the one I was looking for! You always know where to find the good info!

Hey There!
This is the best post I've ever read on this topic:

Think you'll find it to be just what the doctor ordered!

Have you used Google's recommended structured data to identify your company's social profiles: https://developers.google.com/structured-data/customize/social-profiles? You're also going to need to have enough searcher side input to trigger the knowledge graph as well, so that might be a sticking point for a while if the brand isn't well-recognized: http://youtu.be/mmQl6VGvX-c?t=1m18s

Getting the knowledge graph to show for local brand queries takes a little work for really small local businesses. And there is also often a delay before it populates.
I think It's partially based on prominence, popularity and activity to some degree. Schema could help. Also post to your G+ Local page and be sure your profile is complete. Also getting more citations could possibly help. (Not sure about that last one.)

Hi
No it doesn't show up when the brand name is searched.
-
You could try using Schema to mark up the address on your website.
Does it show up when [brand name] is searched on it's own?

Does Google prioritise local domains?
I'm in Australia targeting Australian traffic. I often see US domains in the Google SERPS and wonder if that indicates an opportunity for local (Australian) domains to rank?

Choosing Your Own Photo for Google Business?
When we type in our business name, our google business profile comes up on the right-hand side per usual. However, the photo that is displayed is not the one we want to be displayed. Is there a way to change that? Is there a way to tell google "this is the photo we want to display in search?" Also, the photo that is being displayd is not one that we even have uploaded to the google business page. It is on our website, but not on the photos for google business page. Thanks, Ruben

Disadvantages to Hiding Business Address on Google Places?
From a Local SEO standpoint, wouldn't hiding a business address on Google Places for Business create an SEO disadvantage in that I would expect in the local portion of the search results, there would be a bias to showing businesses that have not hidden their address as then you can place a pin on the map at the location? Or from a Local SEO standpoint does it not matter if you hide your address or not?

Google My Business for 2 Websites With the Same Location
Hi,
Local Listings | | alihus
My client has two separate websites with different business names but under one location and phone number. The websites are for two separate services that he offers.
My question is that if creating two Google+ for business pages for the two businesses bad for their SEO or local ranks?
And what about creating local listings for both?(This does not seem logical to me personally!!)
Thank you for the kind answers in advance.0 -
SEO - Should individual doctors at facility claim a Google My Business profile?
My client is a physician facility with several doctors practicing at the facility. When doing a Google search for some of their practices such as "family practice" one of the doctor's profiles will display in the Google Local pack - however it is not linked to the facility website where their profile exists. As of right now, we are using YEXT and other tools to claim Google Business Profiles for each practice, not the individual doctors. If there are unclaimed accounts for individual doctors, they are alerting Google that it’s a duplicate and should be taken down. Is this the right process to follow for SEO best practices or should we be claiming both the business and individual doctor profiles? The reason they are not claiming individual doctor profiles is to cut down on duplicate reviews as part of the Reputation Management Program. Advice much appreciated!

Duplicate Google Plus and Google My Business Listings
My business has duplicate listings for both Google + and Google Places or Maps or My Business or whatever it's called today. Of course the listings that I want to show are marked as duplicates, and the only option is to remove the duplicates. Is there any way to merge these listings or switch which one Google recognizes?
