Google My Business Multiple Listing
-
Can a specialist doctor who operates out of several locations have multiple GMB listings? She operates under her company brand name if that makes a difference. Thank you community!

Hi Crystal,
No, the purpose of building the landing pages would be to gain an organic presence, not a local pack presence. Without a local business listing in these other locations, she's not going to be included in the local packs, and from your description, she's not eligible for these other listings. So, the goal of creating content surrounding her affiliation with other institutions in other locations would be organic rankings for these topics.

Thank you Miriam,
Will building the local landing pages help her rank higher in the local pack for searches in those areas?
Thank you, Crystal

Hi Crystal,
You're welcome, and from the additional details you've provided, I would recommend:
-
Just one GMB listing at her central location with her single phone number
-
Build content on the website and socially around her privileges at other clinics
Hope this helps!

Hi Miriam,
Thanks for asking!
Yes that is correct, she has one owned clinic and the others are multi-doctor clinics that are privately owned by others. She sees patients at all three clinics.
I also just realised that she doesn't have phone numbers at the other two clinics. Her secretary works at her own clinic and all patients make appointments through her secretary for all locations.
Does this make it clearer?
Thank you Miriam, Crystal

Hi Crystal,
I might need a bit more info on this to offer best guidance. Am I understanding this correctly:
-
Your client is Dr. Jones.
-
Dr. Jones has her own office at 123 Main St.
-
Dr. Jones does not own any other offices, but she sees patients at the local hospital and at the local health care clinic, as well as seeing them at her office.
-
You want to know if Dr. Jones is then eligible for 3 Google My Business listings since she sees patients at 3 locations, one of which she owns, and two of which she doesn't.
Is this the scenario, or would you describe it differently?
-
-
Yeah definitely you can have as many locations as you want you will of course have to verify each one of those addresses with the postcard verification and confirm the code upon receiving it. I would certainly maintain consistency with the business name, using street names at the end to decipher between them.

Hello there,
Of course, you can, there are many businesses that add their branches into GMB.

Fighting spam on Google Maps
"Suggest an edit" on Google Maps works occasionally and so does Google's Redressal Form. Sending a DM to @GoogleMyBiz on Twitter does too. But it seems like the vast majority of spammy businesses that I report, go unnoticed by Google. I'd really appreciate hearing from some other SEOs on how they remove crap from the map, with better results. Thanks.

I have 2 locations and 6+ Google Business pages... How can I combine the duplicates without losing maps rankings?
I have 2 locations and 6+ different Google Business pages due to a company merger and automatic page creation. Some of the GMB even pages rank in maps above the ones we use for certain terms and most bring traffic to my site, but I know the dupes are hurting our maps rankings. Is there a way I can consolidate these pages by combining them? Or am I better off just biting the bullet and deleting the pages I don't want to use?

???? "Google My Business", Search Console, Google Webmaster Tools
I added a Google+ Page for my business several years ago. Now when I click on "Search Console" within Webmaster Tools it is asking me to provide business information that I entered several years ago for Google+. Is this normal? Should I fill it out? It seems that this info is redundant with what I filled out for Google+. When I enter the name of my business (Metro Manhattan Office Space, Inc. ) in Google, a listing appears to the right, so it seems that Google already has my details. Thanks,

Google Address Listing
I am in the process of getting all of my directory listings updated using MOZ local and I am getting some errors that I am unable to change via the Google My Business configuration. When I place the address information into the Google My Business for our business, it is changing it to read differently than what our official mailing address is with the USPS. The official address for our business is 8900 Highway 65 -- but when typed onto GMB it is showing up as 8900 IN-65. Because of this, it is throwing off MOZ and it is not able to find the other profiles or it is saying there are inconsistencies in the listings. Is there any way for Google to change this listing to the correct address to how it should appear? Thank you!

What does this message from Google Places really mean??
Hi people, today I've got this message from Google Places. I Don't know what that exactly means. when I look in my places account, I can find no "more information" and I see no issue?? Here's the message: _Hello, We’d like to inform you that Google Places no longer accommodates more than one authorised owner per business location. Your account contains one or more listings that have been identified as duplicates of other listings and as a result, some of the information that you provide will not be shown to Google users any more. To get more information or request access to the other listings, please log into your Google Places account. Yours sincerely,
