Google not finding my site
-
I built a website, http://deeprootshgc.com. I submitted the site to google and have set up analytics. When I search for the site, deep roots home and garden center, I get their facebook page, manta and everything but the actual URL. Any thoughts?
-
Not a problem Mark. Best of luck!

Thank you for the answer. I actually just found my guys have the site pointed to our old server. Changes were not showing. I still did not have the complete name. I will make the changes that you suggested.
Thanks again for your help.

Your title tag(Deep Roots | Home), h1 (About Deep Roots), an image (file name and alt are the most important areas here) need to feature the entire keyword - deep roots home and garden center.
Once this is done I would recommend setting up a Google Search Console account. Go through the set up instructions to ensure everything is complete. Once that is done, I would ask Google to 'fetch' the URL. This will force a crawler to look through your site and reference the new changes you have made to the title tag etc. This may take 24 hours to show up.
In addition to that I would recommend reading the MOZ Beginners Guide to SEO. This is where I started a few years ago, and it really helped me improve my knowledge.
Hope thats useful

Google My Business - two businesses, same location
I have client that has developed a new brand targeting a specific segment of their wider market - the more price sensitive customer. They have launched a website for this brand, which specialises in promoting special offers. Both operations have the same physical address and the new brand - that targets this niche, I believe has been set up as a service-area business on Google My Business. I think they should change this as they do publish their address on their website and do on occasion welcome customers on their premises. My question - at last! - is that can both businesses exist on Google Maps - with the same business address and is this the right way to proceed if I want to target directory listings for the new brand. Any thoughts welcomed! thanks.

How to add a branch location to Google+ Page
I have a verified local Google+ Page all set up for my local business and linked to my website.. it shows up nicely in local results for my city. Being ambitious I am expanding my presence into another city and would like my website to start showing up in local search for that area as well. What is the protocol for best results ? Start a new Google+ page or somehow add the branch onto the existing page (although there does not seem to be anywhere for this as the page is a local business and seems to lock it in with only a single address)..

Google Places - Bulk Dashboard Issues
Hi guys, We have two clients one for 45 listings and another one with 350 listings all controlled in two separate google places bulk upload accounts. Which can be managed here: https://www.google.com/local/manage/ Recently over the last 3 weeks, every time we make a address change or edit to the listing via thehttps://www.google.com/local/manage/ the edit is not changing the actual listing directly any more. And i have had to use the 'suggest a edit or report a problem' to get the address change. This is getting tedious, especially when you have 10+ stores changing address every week. Does anyone know why this is occurring? It worked perfectly before! I have asked GP support but they haven't given me a response. I'm in Australia and believe we're still on the old dashboard, screenshot below: http://postimg.org/image/he0hx0xox/ Kind Regards,

Google Business Categories: Criminal Justice Attorney
Google has updated their business listings dashboard and are cleaning up categories. Let's come to a consensus on what should be obvious: Who else agrees with me that a lawyer who practices criminal defense law should be categorized as a Criminal Justice Attorney using Google's new business categorization?
