Google Places Creation
-
Hello,
I am currently managing 200 clients for which I have to create Google Places.
Can I create 200 different places for each client, and manage all them from one Gmail account?
If one client doesn't want to continue the contract, can I transfer the managing of the place to another account?

Hey Miriam,
Thanks for your help. So I wanted to know can I open G+ Profile with clients domain name emails, and then with G+ to claim Google Local+ listing, because to open Google Local+ Page for client you first need to have G+ Profile account which I know thay cannot be open with any other domain name mails expect Gmail.

Hi Cvissi,
I strongly recommend that you do not attempt to claim any client's listings into your own account and that you do not claim multiple, unrelated businesses into a single account. Each client should be in control of his listing, even if you are the Local SEO on the project. My advice is to claim each listing individually, preferably into the client's domain name email. This will prevent major future headaches for you and your clients.

Right now the ability to transfer management of Google listings from one gmail account to another is not available. You would release the listing from your account and the new manager would have to find it on Maps and claim it in their gmail account.

I know things are changing as G+ Business pages roll out but the functionality you ask about has always been possible.The google places for business dashboard lets you add and verify all of your clients local profiles (but your authority to make changes to them has to be verified via phone call or post card verification to each client's business phone number or physical address).
At such a time that someone else would need to manage a client's places profile, the other party would simply add that client to their dashboard and verify they have authority to make changes by submitting for phone or postcard verification, receiving the pin that would provided in such verification communication, and inserting pin into their dashboard for that client.

Is city name really a no-no in Google+ Local description field?
I know that adding one's city name in the business name and category tags for Google+ Local is a no-no. And Google says so in its quality guidelines. But what about in the business description? I don't see that in Google's guidelines. Can anyone clarify?

What to do if your categories are missing from Google Places/Plus page?
A client's Google Places/Plus page used to show four or five categories. Now, Google only shows one category. When I go inside their edit page, all of the categories are still listed. Is this a temporary occurrence? Does anyone have a similar experience or advice on this?None of the competitors seem to have the same issue. Ever since the Google plus integration, it's been impossible to see any changes updated.

Appering in both Google Places and regular SERP at the same time
Hi all! My question is: if a search query gives 2 regular results, then the Google Places results, then 8 more results on the first page, is it possible for a website to appear in both in the regular listing, and in the Google Places listing at the same time? In other words: if I do everything well, can my website be the first result, and also be one of the results in the Places listing as well? Or does a website only either apper in the regular listing or in the Places listing? Thanks for the answers!

Google Places email question
Hi Mozzers- I just watched the recent Webinar on Google Places optimization. Unfortunately I missed the live broadcast. I have a couple of questions: It was advised to use an email at the domain for claiming the listing. What about a Gmail address with the company's name in the address? I try to use an email at the domain, but sometimes I'm not able to get one setup. One of my clients provides a service where clients don't necessarily have to come to their location. I used the radius option within maps but they are still not coming up in other locations. I should note that they have very good visibility in the metro area where there is more competition. Some of their competition is showing up for lots of locations and they have offices in one location. Tips? Thanks in advance! LHC

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?

How to get my forum to be listed on Google in the Discussions section?
I'm running several community sites with forums (for example http:// www.finalstitch.co.uk). All of those sites have a forum section like http://http://www.finalstitch.co.uk/forum/ So far Google didn't recognize the forum. When I search for the site and click the Discussions filter on the left, no forum topics from my site show up. What should I do to change that? Thank you. 20110616-gu1beph7p673x1jkgahy1q63r.jpg
