Hi,

Thanks for the great content, I'm utilizing all of these strategies described in article.

The problem that i'm facing with is duplicate listings, not for many local directories, but for a few , so i don't know if thats an issue with my rankings.

Thank You

Hello.

Im working with beauty salon client, i do rank them for top services, but there a term that i can't rank for, my page it optimized for this keywords (url,h1,h2)

i  have this keyword in Google places, as a category, and in description.

i have build many citations with this term, BUT still cant rank it.

If anyone can help me on that, ill be really appreciated, as i'm still learning this.

Thanks You!

Hello Scott,

Hi Miriam

Where do i upload the image in my Google plus or Google places? so it would be first one in the line, its just so confusing,

thanks

Hello Scott,

1. Yes that is my listing https://maps.google.com/maps?cid=1552403007127876102

2. I can see the listing, and all my images are there, with the one i want to display as main image, which is the first one http://screencast.com/t/j0JK4PRnKv7o

3. Point of Interest looks right.

4. Yes that is my Google + page https://plus.google.com/117400845160255741148/

Thanks for help

Hi,

I couldn't figure this out, how do i change image that shows up on the right side for maps results, do i change it in my Google places account ?(which i did and and its a first one)  or in Google plus, i just cant get it?

Thanks for help.

1. Yes it does have location in the search query

2. Yes i do have Google Map embedded on the Contact Us page

3. All directories with citations have same address and phone company name.

4.I do have same phone number in header and footer Im using micro data.

5.No its a beauty salon service

As you can see i have everything in place but yet i dropped in rankings.

Thank You

Hi,

I know how to get in top 3 listings for Google maps, i ranked my client #1 for
pretty competitive keyword that gets about 2000 local searches a month.

My client was there for about 3 months or so, but now she doesn't even rank in top 10,

But shes number one after maps listings.

So my question is how do you keep that rankings once you ranked #1 for maps?

All my pages are highly optimized
My Google places page 100% competed and  highly optimized
I use twitter every week to build citations

What im i missing?

Thanks
