Welcome to the Q&A Forum

A friend of mine, working for a child daycare center, experienced the same issue lately. Seems like some flaw in the Google system. Hope this has been resolved along with the major Google Local Business Center update.

Hi Miriam,

Thanks for your help!

We only use Dutch in The Netherlands, so I didn't have any choice when adding  a new listing. It just defaulted to English, even though I chose a location in The Netherlands and our existing listing is in Dutch.

I guess you're probably right that the only solution is to contact Google about this.

Hi there!

I've recently added a new listing in our Google Places for Business account. When adding the basic info initially, the category suggestions where in English, so I just picked one. We are based in The Netherlands however, so I'd like to use the Dutch categories.

When I edit our existing listing, the category suggestions are Dutch. When I edit our new listing, suggestions keep showing in English. Does anyone know how I can change this?

I tried to switch language settings in my Google account, but it seems like the categories are just stuck on a certain language once the listing is set up?

Thanks for your help!

Recently, Google announced an update in de Google Analytics Adwords integration that should wield out the ancient trouble caused by changing your campaign titles in Adwords.

Two months have passed, but I still see double entries for the same campaign after a (minor) title change.

Are they still busy rolling out the update to all Analytics account or is there something wrong with our Adwords<>Analytics integration?

What's your experience?

What's even worse: if you start Outlook and if the last e-mail to come in before the last time you closed Outlook was a MOZ Q&A one, it already freezes at startup.

I'll have to disable email notifications for now, since they ruin my productivity.

Any word on when this will be solved? I've added Moz to the trusted senders list, so it auto-loads all images.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your tip. That could very well be the case here, although I need to know for sure before I settle with this interpretation.

Take this search for example:

https://www.google.nl/search?q=opleiding+veiligheidskunde&aq=f&oq=opleiding+veiligheidskunde&aqs=chrome.0.57j60l3j62l2.5126j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

I searched for "opleiding veiligheidskunde" and it should be an exact match with the actual page title. Though Google shows only "Veiligheidskunde" in the SERP, which can't be argued to be a better match than "opleiding veiligheidskunde". On top of that we've gone down from pos. 4 to 6 in the past couple of weeks for this keyword.

That's why I'm concerned that Google not only displays another title, but our rankings are also influenced because it's not an exact match anymore.

I encountered a strange phenomenon lately and I’d like to hear if you have any idea what’s causing it.

For the past couple of weeks I’ve seen some our Google rankings getting unstable. While looking for a cause, I found that for some pages, Google results display another page title than the actual meta title of the page.

Examples

http://www.atexopleiding.nl

Meta title:                    Atex cursus opleider met ruim 40 jaar ervaring - Atexopleiding.nl

Title in SERP:             Atexopleiding.nl: Atex cursus opleider met ruim 40 jaar ervaring

http://www.reedbusinessopleidingen.nl/opleidingen/veiligheid/veiligheidskunde

Meta title:                    Opleiding Veiligheidskunde, MBO & HBO - Reed Business Opleidingen

Title in SERP:             Veiligheidskunde - Reed Business Opleidingen

http://www.pbna.com/vca-examens/

Meta title:                    Behaal uw VCA diploma bij de grootste van Nederland - PBNA

Title in SERP:             VCA Examens – PBNA

I’ve looked in the source code, fetched some pages as Googlebot in WMT, but the title shown in the SERP doesn’t even exist in the source code.

Now I suspect this might have something to do with the “cookiewall” implemented on our sites. Here’s why:

• Cookiewall was implemented end of January
• The problem didn’t exist until recently, though I can’t pinpoint an exact date.
• Problem exists on both rbo.nl, atexopleiding.nl & pbna.com, the latter running on Silverstripe CMS instead of WP. This rules out CMS specific causes.
• The image preview in the SERPS of many pages show the cookie alert overlay

However, I’m not able to technically prove that the cookiescript causes this and I’d like to rule out other any obvious causes before I "blame it on the cookies" :).

What do you think?

Yeah, I shared that blog post on Twitter about a few hours ago :).

Problem solved!

Thanks for keeping me updated!
