Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Ok, so maybe I'm looking in all the wrong places, But where can I get good search volume data for searches done in iTunes app store? Or is this something that Apple just doesn't share?

I appreciate the answer and detailed feedback.

I can understand why having the gym's street address Without the suite number on a trainer's website could actually be worse; hadn't considered that.

Yes, duplicated categories in Places....No good. Luckily no merge yet.

We're going to add a term in the contract with the gym's trainers about use of the street address: Not allowed on any online account (Places, Yelp, etc.).

Fortunately the gym owner is supportive of getting this taken care of and is dealing with the trainers. Your feedback helped. Thanks!

Thank you for your time and insight.

Thank you for the answer and confirmation.

Our Google Places account is all filled out. Yes, we certainly want to avoid any Places merging.

I'm trying to avoid problems with Google Places; this is like "address confusion", but is rather "business confusion".

We have a gym at a street address with a suite number, and a number of personal trainers who work out of the gym.  Several of them have their own websites and their own Google Places pages.

1 trainer has a Yelp account that lists the gym's street address including the suite number, and a Places page with the gym's street address.

2 trainers have the gym's street address on their personal/individual business websites, 1 with and 1 without the suite number.

Is any of this going reduce Google's confidence in the accuracy of which business is really at the street address and suite number?

What should we tell/require of our trainers in relation to this, if anything?

Is there a chance Google will merge the Places pages?

Am I paranoid?  (Google Places sometimes does at it wishes, to the dismay of several of my clients.....)

I do know that there are often many businesses in a building, each with their own suite numbers, and nothing bad happens.  But ours is a case of multiple personal training businesses (including the gym: a small personal training studio) all at the same address And suite number.

Thanks for any insight or ideas!
