        Sorry to double post, but I went and looked and they also have one specifically for local business.

          I think adding the map by itself couldn't hurt, but I would combine it with schema organization or business markup  for the best results. You can specify where your physical location is with either of those two mentioned.

            Thanks for sharing Matt - we did a similar test and found improved SERP results with a full address/G map on the contact page above the fold.

                  We've tested this a few ways.

                  1. Add map to the footer - seems to help somewhat.  Not a big jump but definitely a boost.

                  2. Add map to the contact page along with the address - this helped the most in our testing.

                  3. Add map to any other page - no effect in our tests.

                  We tested 2 controls and 4 sites set each way = 14 total.

                  Of the 14, the 2 controls and the 2 "any other page" had very little improvement.  The 8 on #1 and #2 had definite moves and so it does seem to affect the results. Putting the address on the page, along with an embedded G map was by far the best for us.

                    Google Listing Doesn't Appeare on 3Pack anymore

                    Hi, One of my GMB listing suddenly stopped ranking in the 3Pack Results. It used to always rank in 1st or 2nd position in the 3Pack results, Suddenly since 24th May it completely Flatlined, I don't know why but It doesn't show up in the results, or when I click see more. It completely vanished for that term locally. My Listing is based in Brisbane, QLD, Australia and it doesn't show up for that term in The Brisbane area. But when the Location info is Australia and not Brisbane, Australia it shows up again. I don't know what is the problem in this case... Any Suggestions will be much appreciated.

                    Hi all, we recently started to claim Apple Maps listings on behalf of our agency's clients, is it possible to transfer ownership of an Apple Maps listing from one Apple ID account to another Apple ID account?

                    We'd like to claim and complete our clients' Apple Maps listings with our agency Apple ID, then once we're finished completing and verifying  each listing, transfer to the client's Apple ID. Is it possible to  transfer ownership of an Apple Maps listing from one Apple ID to another? Thanks

                    What is the radius for local search results

                    Does anyone know if there is a specific radius google uses to display local search results or is it simply based on the number of competitors or industry vertical.
                    Let's say I am based in covent garden London and I am looking for an indian restaurant. I assume that all results will be very localized as there are plenty of Indian restaurants in convent garden. But If i was looking for, let's say "wooden pipe shop" (i believe there is none in convent garden) what would google display? how far away from my desired location will google be able to extend it's results to?

                    Google My Business for a Multi-Business Showroom

                    We are considering signing up for a multi-business showroom co-op concept in our area.  Basically this space (1 address) has 10+ businesses that have their products represented at the location.  There is one person working that passes along the leads to the individual companies when someone visits the showroom and shows interest in a product.  I know at least 5 of the  businesses are using this address for a Google My Business profile, and we would like to also.  I am looking for some advice on best practices and strategy to ensure were not violating any of Google's policies.  Here is a link to the showroom:  http://www.brookfieldhomeandideacenter.com/

                    SEO - Should individual doctors at facility claim a Google My Business profile?

                    My client is a physician facility with several doctors practicing at the facility. When doing a Google search for some of their practices such as "family practice" one of the doctor's profiles will display in the Google Local pack - however it is not linked to the facility website where their profile exists. As of right now, we are using YEXT and other tools to claim Google Business Profiles for each practice, not the individual doctors. If there are unclaimed accounts for individual doctors, they are alerting Google that it’s a duplicate and should be taken down. Is this the right process to follow for SEO best practices or should we be claiming both the business and individual doctor profiles? The reason they are not claiming individual doctor profiles is to cut down on duplicate reviews as part of the Reputation Management Program. Advice much appreciated!

                    Removing Unverified Listing From Google

                    We have an old unverified listing that has our information on it, but we can't get it off google. I told them months ago it was closed, and it is marked as closed in Google...but it still shows up. Moz Local is telling me this is an inconsistency that hurts our local rankings. I went to delete the page from our Google Business/Place, but if I did that, the warning said that I would just not have access to the page, and that the listing would still show up on google. How do I permanently get rid of those thing, so it's not longer an inconsistent listing? Ruben

                    Any reason a listing that was showing in Google between the 3 and 5 spot on local map search would suddenly disappear all together from the map position for a specific keyword?

                    Is there a way to get your local SERP by zipcode?

                    I have multiple stores across various zipcodes and i'm having difficulty trying to provide an average Positioning on SERP by region.  I do know that your SERP varies by region because different areas use different vernaculars.  Does anyone know of a way that I can provide a SERP for keywords/terms by county or zip code?
