Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks, will do

Thanks Miriam

If I log out of normal moz, and then click the login button at the bottom of this thread and login, then I am Q&A logged in. Weird.

Yeah I thought Miriam Ellis was the subject matter expert and I've copied her advice below (there is no solution) from 13 months ago. I'm kinda hoping that there is updated advice and even perhaps a solution?

"It's important to understand that no matter how many citations you get, you are at risk of their 'power' being split between you and any other business sharing the address, and simply confusing the bots further. It might be helpful to visualize being a bot here. If you see 50 references around the web to Jane's Hair Salon, 23 for Jenny's Yoga and 72 for Bill's Martial arts all stating that they are located at 123 Main street, who do you believe? Therein lies the problem and it's not going to be a winning situation for any of the businesses mixed up in this. Google has never handled the concept of shared addresses well. Unfortunately, in the real world, people do share addresses, but Google's system is not designed to cope with that, so either one abstains from participation in Google's local products, or finds a way to comply with them." - Miriam Ellis Oct 13 http://moz.com/community/q/local-seo-how-to-handle-multiple-business-at-same-address

Thanks Moosa. We use PO Box numbers.

Thanks for your quick response Federico. The issue is New Zealand does not use Suite #s at all.

My apologies for not responding to the responses earlier, I got caught in some sort of odd logged out bug for just the Q&A section

New Zealand does some good things, for example we grow hairy fruit called Kiwifruit, put other fruit into bottles and call it Sauvignon Blanc, but we can also be a bit, well...fruity.

My problem is that when we Kiwis list out NAPs we do it like this: ABC Company, Level 1, 123 Example St. Now the fruity bit is we don't have Suite #s, there is never: ABC Company, Suite #400 Level 1, 123 Example St. We just expect you to go up to level 1 and bl@ody well find the office thanks very much (yea there are signs).

It seems like a Local SEO shared office situation but it's the whole floor! I'm worried if I get an office in an office building then I will have my results merged with Extremely-Boring-Accountant and Angry-Lawyer who happen to be on the same level.

What's a Local SEO aware guy to do?

Thanks Gregory, its a tricky question.

I'm thinking c). That way I also get more traffic to the page which helps with CRO, remarketing etc. I don't have to worry about cannonical links and admin of many pages. Also having one SEO page for a product probably outweighs the NAP local SEO advantages.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your answer Dana, and I didn't take it that way at all. Actually I evernoted your  own blog post on this an hour ago.

May be I'll wait 6 months and then post all of them up at that time that way I'm totally "in the clear".

I'll wait to see if Roger answers (though I understand he's too busy with crawling) before giving you 'Good Answer'.
