Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks.  I will take a look.

Yes, I have control.

I am still trying to figure out Places and Google+.  Could someone please help me understand how my Google+ profile (that it attached to and can be accessed through my gmail account) interacts with my Places page (which requires my gmail credentials to administer, but can only be accessed through the Places page itself)?  Do my posts on my personal profile enhance my Places listing?  Any help would be appreciated.

I run a law firm with multiple practice areas (bankruptcy, probate, estate planning, personal injury).  I have a google places page with those categories listed.  I recently spoke with an seo company (that cold called me...) that told me that it was "black hat" to try to optimize a local campaign for more than one of those practice areas.  That doesn't seem right to me.  Any thoughts?
