Lol let me know so I can send Google a bill too.
I was out of Google Places for about 2 or 3 months, then I show up with another company address and phone number and etc. A lot of issues.
4 months after I'm start getting ranking again, but now the reviews appear and disappears from time to time. Customers can't leave me reviews at this time.
I hope it works faster for you... Good luck!
I think Google Places is slow because on the transition to Google+ Places, I'm having issues with the reviews don't show sometimes, wrong information listed, mixed information from another listed. Give them some time about 3 or 4 weeks if not then contact google support.
Hello
I got a website www.keywordCA.com and I'm ranking #1 spot on "keyword" but what I notice if you have the exact match you get more site links and etc. Like this keyword that match with my domain name "keyword CA"
The ideal name will be www.keyword.com but is taken and the owner don't want to sell the domain (at least he is not using it, is just parked) and I also got the domain www.keyword.net
Do you think www.keyword.net will be much better than KeywordCA.com in order to get more exposure and google will generate more site links?
Amazing answer, I think is a good idea implement Phase 2. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much, I appreciate your help on this!
How can I deal with other websites that have a keyword domain name similar to my client website?
I get a few domains similar to my client domain name just to avoid the same issue, but there are a few others ranking for the same keywords and I don't want posible customers get confused with a similar domain name.
I have social media (Facebook, Twitter, Linked in and etc), but they are not ranking on the first page.
This is the situation:
www.domain.com that would be my client's domain.
And the competition:
And a few more.
At this time my client is ranking #1 position, but all the others ar 1 or 2 positions bellow.
Hello, that's a good deal, I think is not only the link is more about the trust the BBB provides.
Can I ask you how you get this price if you don't mind? I would like to join but I don't want to pay $500
I think also the folding of the page, there is nothing interesting and you can only see the top of the first image, you also need to think about that, not everybody has a big screen, check your Google Analytics. Try to move everything up and play with the empty spaces.
Also check your marketing campaign maybe your are promoting to the wrong audience.
I hope this help.
Miriam, you are the best!!!!
I appreciate your help on this local and organic, I hope Google will solve this issue soon because new clients are getting lost with the old address on organic and wrong phone number on places. OMG!!!
Thank you 
Hello again Miriam,
On Google Places Help Forum they only ask me a few questions about the wrong number and good number, I fill that out, and I get this e-mail:
Thank you for contacting Google. We may follow up if we need further
information. Otherwise, we appreciate your patience while our team reviews
and responds to inquiries in the order they are received.
Once our investigation is complete, we'll reply with actions we've taken
and instructions for next steps.
Regards,
The Google Team
I did it OK or there is another place to do it?
Thanks
I receive a similar e-mail too, they remove the other listing from places because that business was closed and I can only see my listing. But still mixed, I uploaded like 4 pictures but still showing the old picture from the other company, now also it's showing their phone number in my listing so when customers call get to a disconnected phone number, that's crazy!!!
Robert, thank you I just do what you told me, how long you think google will respond back?
Thank you

Hello, yes I registered and verified my google place at that location, I got an office there. I used to have a toll free number and I change it for this local number to see if I can rank better.
The reviews you see on my listing are from the competitor listing that get mixed with mine, also the photo showing is also from the other listing. On my back end of my google places I see a different picture and now reviews. And no data at all regarding visits, impressions or etc.
Thank you for the quick response, the picture you see on my listing it's from the other competitor listing, also the reviews. On my google place I see a different photo that I uploaded. I'm going to try what you suggest about reporting the photo. Thank you
I'm having this issue with the keyword "miami printing" raking local for Miami, FL.
My website is miamiprintingfl.com and part of my listing, photo, some reviews and etc, belongs to another listing miami-printing.net that last domain is not working at all.
Is there anyway to solve this problem?
Thank you
Here my listing link:
And the other website that google its getting my listing mixed:
I did option 1 on one of my websites some time ago and works fine, rankings are the same. Takes about 2 moth to get the same visits on all the links again.
If you are able to buy all those domains do it! and keep it from you competition, if you already got then, that was a smart move!
Nice stuff Steve! Just tried and works good! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your response! Yes I think is a good idea to tell Google to remove that listing because I'm not going to use it.
But you look like a big company! that's all that matters lol
This is what I like about seomoz, I recently joined and I see that Rand takes time to talk to a lot of people and post a lot of comments, most of CEO of big companies don't do that! You only see pictures of them but not even a word. Seomoz Rules!!!!
Sorry about the title misspellings its supposed to be "About to get my competition domain, now what I can do?"
Hello, I'm trying to get a domain from what it used to be my main competition, if I get this domain can I forward the domain to my website? because they have good local ranking that I don't have and also a lot of links.
I don't really want to use that brand name, I just want to take advantage of the links they already created if that possible.
Or can I do something else with the domain or just buy it and keep it so nobody else can buy it?
Thank you
