Google Places - Co Working Spaces
-
Hello,
Hope this hasn't been answered but no combination of searches could turn it up.
What is the impact for those using a co working space such as http://www.thenetworkhub.ca/ in regards to Google Places and local searches?
Assumedly there will be multiple 'businesses' using the same address including suite number. Does this cause issue with Google understanding that these are truly legit 'offices' and work address for honest to goodness businesses?
Suppose part of the challenge may be those using this address for just mail and answering...
Guess my point is, will 20-40 people using the same address for their places profile be a problem?
What alternatives exist for these folks?
Thanks y'all!

Thanks for the update Kye. It's always interesting to find out how these things turn out. I hope it's worked out well for your client.

In the end we found a unique address. The client decided it wasn't worth the risk of complication with the co working space versus using another commercial address that only he uses.
He is legitimately using this address for his business exactly how he would have used the co working space so it is onside. Just happened to be a space available that the owner of will likely never use the address online.
Sadly though that leaves us still wondering what the impact of the co working space address will cause.

Hi! We're going through some of the older unanswered questions and seeing if people still have questions or if they've gone ahead and implemented something and have any lessons to share with us. Can you give an update, or mark your question as answered?
Thanks!

Good point. As long they all use their own cell number and not the actual number of the co working space (which does offer answering services to create perception of a receptionist) they should be in a stronger position.
-
You should be OK as long as each business has a unique phone number.
As RichardGetz said above, also make sure your citations match up across sites - always a best practice, but in this case you really need to be as clear as possible.
-
Sorry, I missed that point. Hmm, that might look a bit doggy. However, if the address on your site is clear, and all other citations are the same (Superpages.com, yelp.com, insiderpages.com etc.), and no one else using that suite # is spammy, then I don' t see a huge problem.
-
Even though they all share the same suite #. I should have been more clear about that.

Nope, Google will understand that this is an office building.

Unusual Google+ Local listing ranking well
If you search for locksmith Phoenix, this Google+ page is ranked #3 in the local results: https://plus.google.com/117543374216451236579/about?hl=en The phone number is a VOIP number, they don't appear to have many/any citations, no reviews, etc. They've listed the Yelp search results page as their website. Strange. How are they ranking so well? Is Google ranking them well because it's associating them with Yelp.com? Any thoughts?

Google places - We currently do not support the location
Hi My Google places listing has vanished from the local search results, and when clicking on the 'see your listing on Google' link from the Google Places dashboard I am getting the message We currently do not support the location What is causing this is it due to another listing with the same address? I have now deleted this extra listing which is now showing as suspended until I enter the pin which will remove it. But what other steps do I need to take to get the listing back on google places search results?

Google local
If you perform a search in Google maps for our company and you are not signed in, it returns our Google + page, with reviews, photos, directions and about tabs, which is fine but, when you click on any of the photos, there is a window that opens to the right where you can edit the location where the photo has been taken, a comment box, photo details and above all, right at the top, MY NAME! Why my name? This is the business page, I don't want people to see that. The snip is below. Thanks! g3OTPRp

Google Images in Normal Search
If you search for the term, "Crappie". Listed 4th is a row of images. These kinds of images always seem to grab my attention above the actual search results-- or at least they do for a moment. These images seem to be in order of google images rankings. I may try to take a swing at ranking for these images. Is there anything else I should know before I start? I can't seem to find any guidance on the topic. Thanks

Google Places with locations inside of a mall
I got a great question from a franchise owner today regarding Google Places for his business. His businesses are all in malls. With Google Places there is an emphasis on using consistency and full contact details, as we well know. The issue is his locations are in a mall and don't have a physical address to receive mail or verify their address. Is there a way to leverage Google Places in this kind of situation, or do you just use the general mall address?
