Google Places Account

Hi,
I'm doing Google maps optimization for my local clients, so she uses same login for personal Gmail and Google places, is there a way to change a password for Google places, without giving away her password that she uses for personal Gmail?
Thanks for help.

The business name, address and telephone number belong to the entity. Changes to the information are verified via a google phone call to the company's phone number or a postcard sent to the company's address. Anyone can make the changes to a places page but the changes are not actually implemented until they are verified by the business via a phone call or postcard.
So, if you make the changes while logged into YOUR google account, that company will forever show up in your Google places dashboard--even if someone else makes changes to it from their account in the future. This doesn't mean you've claimed the business--it just means you've made changes to it. I have, for example, many, many companies that show in my dashboard. Each of them I've coordinated with to set up or revise their places page. I make the changes, prepare them to be ready to get the automated phone call with the PIN (it happens in less than 20 seconds) or to be on the lookout for the postcard with the PIN (takes about two weeks) and when they get the PIN, they give it to me, I enter it into my dashboard, and the changes take effect. You don't need to be in the client's google account to do this.

Hi Tonyklu,
She'd have to have separate accounts, I believe - one for her gmail and another for Places. I do not, however, recommend that you claim her under any account of yours. Clients should always have independent control of their properties. Hope this helps!

Google Places or Google+ Business page?
With Google Places, you can add them to your own Google Places dashboard (http://www.google.com/local/add ), edit the business info, and a post card or phone verification will take place as usual with the client company (you can have Google send a verification post card with a PIN in about 2 weeks or You can have Google immediately place an automated call to the business phone number on record and provide a PIN). Once verified, the client gives you the pin, which you enter at your dashboard and the changes then take effect. Some changes don't need to be verified.
If it's Google+, the owner of a Google+ personal profile will need create a Google+ Business Page from within their personal profile and then make you a manager of that page, which you will then be able to administer while logged into your own Google account.

Search and Replace filter on Google Analytics?
Hello! On our GA account for one of our clients, we'd like to add a search and replace filter to the Views section of the account. The URL is www.askergoworks.com (it redirects to askergoworks.com), and Google has flagged us to have redundant hostnames. This is why we'd like to add the filter. Would the regular expression be askergoworks.com|www.askergoworks.com ? Any help would be great - I'm not a regex expert, so I really don't how to go about this. Thanks!

Tracking Google places (7 pack listing) traffic in google analytics
Is there a way to see Google Places traffic (traffic from users clicking through the 7 pack listings) segmented in Google analytics ? Normally is it just lumped together with the organic traffic ? Can you see the search phrases used to find your site, or do they also show up under 'not provided' when from Google Places. Im aware i can see some limited data in the Google Places analytics, but these seem to be 2 days behind when ever i view them.

How can I track my rankings on Google Images?
I noticed a small amount of traffic coming from a particular very generic keyword. Being pleasantly surprised that we are ranking for this, and after some digging, I found that we are actually ranking in Google images, rather than in the web results. How can I track whether other keywords are ranking in Google images? I use Rank Checker to track keywords in the main web results, but this doesn't have a function for Google Images. Help please - thanks.

Is Google turning Off Webmaster Tools Search data
My Webmaster Tools account has stopped showing data past 9/23, which is a full week old. Typically it is just a few days behind schedule. Is Google cutting this off?

Google penalty
Hi, I've seen a steady improvement in my google search referrals since optimising my site and keeping an eye on SEO over the last few months. I'm only getting relatively small numbers of referrals, around 120-130 a day, but this has steadily increased from about 40 before Christmas. It's been a fairly consistent increase until 4 days ago when suddenly my referral numbers were cut in half. I'd be surprised if google was penalising me since I'm such a small site, but are there any obvious signs I should look out for? Oh, and my site is www.madegood.org should that be of help. Thanks! Will

Google Analytics
Good Morning, I am trying to understand 2 issues in Google Analytics. 1. When look at : Traffic Source --> SEO --> Quesrios - i see the impressions column and its always a whole number 1550, 500, 5500, etc.. I never saw (for example) 702, 313, etc... impressions Can anyone explain why and how does it work? 2. In the same report i see my AVG. position for each query, the question is how come i have AVG, position of (290, 230, 190) for some of the queries and still i get clicks on these queries. My guess is that from time to time these queries have better position and the clicks are from these time. Do you familiar with a way to the the distribution of a specific query over time? for example: 1.3.2013 avg position = 4 2.3.2013 avg position = 7 3.3.2013 avg position = 2 4.3.2013 avg position = 8 etc... 3. This report say its for: "Top 1,000 daily queries" - What does it mean? Thank you and sorry for this long question SEOwiseUs
