Business with Google + Business Page not showing with map
-
Hi I set up a Google + business Page for a client and we claimed their address (it shows in the Google Maps page fine. The page has been created for a while now but when you search for this business it does not show the map to the right? Any thoughts? BTW we have two locations and both have separate pages - thought this could be the issue but then when I added the business name + the location still not showing.

A funeral home is not a service area business. So, the question then is are you set up as AC_Pro suggested in Places for business? Here is the link to Google Places for Business. You should be able to sign in with the same account info as your G+. Do all there that is needed and when you get your postcard you know what to do.
I hope this helps; if we have missed something in this group of answers, please let us know and we will assist you. Also, we have a great Local person here (not me, she is smart) who is happy to help out others with short lessons, etc.
Best to you and your clients,
Robert

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the instructions. Is it a service area business?- no I dont think you could call they are a funeral home / cremation service so I think I should go ahead and create a Google Places account as well. I have gone in through Google Mapmaker when logged in and although on the map the premises is showing the Google + is not there (it is a verified business).

You are saying the business has been verified - we claimed their address - is that correct?
One thing we have no way of knowing i_s this a service area business or not?_ You cannot really set up a places account for a service area business at this time; that would negate the suggestion from AC Pro if it is a service area business. If it is not a service area business, given you would need both Local and G+ set up, AC Pro's suggestion is helpful. So, a few more questions:
When when you search on the business - Joe's Tires and Dresses Houston TX - you do not see the map and info to the Right on the web serps page. (see attached).
Have you gone into mapmaker to edit the location of the business at all? If you do, are you seeing the business on the map? Go to mapmaker.Google.com (be logged in with your G+ or master account). In the search bar at top left put in the business name. Does your G+ info show up?
One issue is not knowing precisely what is occurring for you or being able to see the business, etc. If you can provide just a few more details that would help; if you can't I would be happy to take a look if you can PM it.
Let us know please,
Robert

Good suggestion/experiance AC Pro, Google Local is not the easiest to get your location listed, and advice like this really goes a long way

We just set opened a new location for our business. We had to do the mailer twice: once for google places (<cite>https://www.google.com/business/placesforbusiness/</cite>) and once for the google+ listing of the company (<cite>https://plus.google.com/</cite>). Once we had both physical mailers completed the location started appearing on google maps. I hope this helps!

Google Places Bulk Uploader
Hi we have 15 stores we want to transfer over to our main google places account. We can only claim them with google places bulk uploader. So from what i have read, i have to add each store to the spreadsheet then request bulk upload. Since these google places listings already exist, will the listings i create (via the spreadsheet) simply merge with the old ones? Or could there be a chance of the creation of duplicate listings (how can you avoid this). And is it necessary to add latitude and longitude points (because you don't have to add them)? The goal is to add the old listings into a our Google Places account, and can only use the bulk uploader. Thanks,

Reasons for store not showing up on Google?
Hi my client has a store which is not showing up on Google search results. E.g. if you looked up store name and store location on Google, all the stores in that particular city show up except one. Also even if you click the: More results near CITY, and State the stores listing still doesn't show up. So for some reason Google has excluded the store from Google search. But if you go to Google Maps directly, and type in the same keyword "STORE NAME CITY" the store is displayed and there. Does anyone know any reason why the store has been excluded from Google search results, but is listed successfully on Google Maps.

Multiple businesses under the same physical address
If I am running one business at one address and I start a new business what should I do to avoid triggering spam filters for having 2 businesses using the same address. I've been told by an seo that I trust the best way to do this is create a suite #. If I do this then I have to change all the addresses on the existing campaigns for the Primary business because if I create suite #'s it changes the primary's address by doing this.

Google Places Listing
Hi, I have the following issue. I'm doing marketing for a restaurant. There used to be 2 restaurants under the same owner, but they ended up splitting. Now these two locations are completely different owners. The issue is that the google places listing is currently pointing to the same website. How can I change the website address of this listing without having access to the email that was used to create it? Thanks

Geo sitemap & google webmaster tools
Uploaded a Geo-sitemap last week and made sitemap_index.xml that includes the geo & normal sitemap.

My competitors are spamming in google places, how do I report them? following are a few examples of how they are spamming: Some of them are not local businesses, they somehow managed to get a number and some random address.

How do I get google to index review sites for Google Places?
Some of our competitors are ranking higher than we are in google places due to a larger variety of review sites. Google is picking up reviews for them on certain review sites such as yelp.com or projectwedding.com. We have a lot of reviews on those sites also, but google is not picking those reviews up for us. I checked and verified that the phone number and address is exactly correct and has the exact same formatting on all the sites, but google still hasn't picked up those reviews for us. I've waited a couple months now and still nothing. Is there anything I'm missing?
