Google + and Google Knoladge Graph
-
I am trying to get things to match up for the company brand websearch and the Google + page and we have had it for years now
The knowledge graph on Google is showing the map, address and name (shown in attached image), but is not linked to a G+ page, as when i click the "Are you the business owner?" its is trying to make me create a new G+ business page. Anyone have any ideas on this?
Also does the wiki name have to be exact for it to show?
As for phone number would that be coming from the DNS record as that is nowhere in the markup rich snippet or normal markup
Thanks in advance

I will also take a read at these blogs
Thanks

Hi David,
This is one of those questions that it is really difficult to resolve in an informal forum. These types of things can require logging into dashboards, doing a lot of research etc. Now, you've already taken the direct route of trying to show this to Google. I recommend 2 things:
-
If you don't see the issue resolve within 2 weeks of speaking to Google reps, call them again.
-
If that doesn't work, take this to the Google help forum (https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/business), be prepared to share all information and make a serious plea for a TC or staffer to assist you there.
-
If neither of these methods work, hire a heavy hitting SEO as a consultant. He/she may need to dig deep, given the fact that Google pulls data from a variety of sources, meaning that there can be so many variables in a case like this.

So yesterday started a chat with Ad words in Dublin (who couldn't be more helpful) the woman Arlene gave me link to email Google in CA so i did expecting a phone call from them in CA but instead just off the phone with someone from a call center ion India who didn't have a clue. He didn't understand the fact i have 2 local pages, one showing in search knowledge graph (no content just contact info which i a page they created because there silly algorithm is terrible) and the other (one we have used, verified, mapped etc.. for over a year) he didn't under stand the fact if i delete the one we have used for over a year then we loose the content. And if i delete the other one i loose the search stuff. his solution was just to delete one. God knows who trains these people as this must happen daily with them creating pages randomly because there algorithm feels like it

-

If you've got two local pages it gets a bit more complicated, you can mark one (the new one i assume) as duplicated which should mean its deleted, I was under the impression you had a brand page and were attempting to claim a local page, you can see some more info on an older post here - https://moz.com/community/q/can-a-google-local-listing-be-merged-with-a-goolge-page
You can also see more information here - https://support.google.com/business/answer/6010825?hl=en This should enable you to set your primary page.
Hope some of that helps.

Hi Chris,
I accepted the other page and now have 2.
Both pages are verified local, is there a way to merge the two of them?
Thanks

Hello Nittin,
See the "feedback" button under the box and to the right, that should help you tell Google its the wrong info, you can also try to build your brand to be bigger than the trio which will also help.
Hi David,
is your Google plus page a Google plus page or a Google plus and Google local as unfortunately to gain the little map shenanigans you need a Google local page which you would have to create, you would then need to combine the two pages, your existing one would be become a "backup" but all the links and goodness would be transferred. Its frustrating but a bit of a necessity, It sucks that there are difference parts to Google plus/local etc.
You can see a step by step here- https://www.hallaminternet.com/2014/merge-google-brand-page-google-local-page/ though you can also find other resources if you need to via Google search.
The hone number should update with the Google local when(if) you create it.
Hope that helps.

I have the same doubt, when I search for "askme" which is the company I work for, its showing the wrong wiki page link which talks about a female trio from Chicago Illinois (PFA the screenshot).
How can I tell google to not link that wiki page with our brand?

Page missing from Google index
Hi all, One of our most important pages seems to be missing from the Google index. A number of our collections pages (e.g., http://perfectlinens.com/collections/size-king) are thin, so we've included a canonical reference in all of them to the main collection page (http://perfectlinens.com/collections/all). However, I don't see the main collection page in any Google search result. When I search using "info:http://perfectlinens.com/collections/all", the page displayed is our homepage. Why is this happening? The main collection page has a rel=canonical reference to itself (auto-generated by Shopify so I can't control that). Thanks! WUKeBVB

What's going on with google index - javascript and google bot
Hi all, Weird issue with one of my websites. The website URL: http://www.athletictrainers.myindustrytracker.com/ Let's take 2 diffrenet article pages from this website: 1st: http://www.athletictrainers.myindustrytracker.com/en/article/71232/ As you can see the page is indexed correctly on google: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:dfbzhHkl5K4J:www.athletictrainers.myindustrytracker.com/en/article/71232/10-minute-core-and-cardio&hl=en&strip=1 (that the "text only" version, indexed on May 19th) 2nd: http://www.athletictrainers.myindustrytracker.com/en/article/69811 As you can see the page isn't indexed correctly on google: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:KeU6-oViFkgJ:www.athletictrainers.myindustrytracker.com/en/article/69811&hl=en&strip=1 (that the "text only" version, indexed on May 21th) They both have the same code, and about the dates, there are pages that indexed before the 19th and they also problematic. Google can't read the content, he can read it when he wants to. Can you think what is the problem with that? I know that google can read JS and crawl our pages correctly, but it happens only with few pages and not all of them (as you can see above).

From page 1th to page 18th @ Google
Hello Mozzers! I have a question, you may help.. How may it be possible that a page ranking well (1th result) goes from 1th result to the 18th page just in 1 day? It doesnt seem to be any kind of penalization.. I now had all suspicious outgoing links to be nofollow (they were not before), this may be a cause .. (?) Do you have any other suggestion? Thanks
