Local search result not showing

Hi Mozzers,
I'm not a huge expert on local SEO.. the thing is when searching for our brand + city. or brand name specific or anything we do not get the map on the right with our contact info and such.
To be sure this is what we've done.- We have a google+ page + verified content (for more than 4 months now)
- We have images, opening times, email, url's and such filled in (for 4 months now)
- We are on several local sites with our address, and such
- We do have some old listings here and there where we have old addresses but its just a few and we are on it to update / deleting them
- We have Microdata on our site with our address, lat lang and such.
- All address data on social, and few other pages are super in sync with each other.
We are located in the Netherlands so a lot of info on this site we cannot use, becuase they don't accept us for example. Very curious on some interesting info how to optimize and why we are not showing.

Hi There!
Unfortunately, I'm not very well versed in Local SEO in the Netherlands, but I do believe this Moz blog post will help you to begin troubleshooting how well-optimized your local presence is, regardless of country:
http://moz.com/blog/troubleshooting-local-ranking-failures
Also, want to be sure that your company is running a Google+ Local page ... not just a Google+ social type page and that you actually qualify as a local business of the type that Google would most typically show mapped results for. Do you make in-person contact with your customers and do they come to your physical location to do business with you? These are some important questions, and I hope the article will help!

Hi Andy,
Just been browsing and searching along, and i have seen that there are still a lot of old addresses about 20 i could find of 3 different addresses we have been located in the pas 7 years. so thats probably a thing
So i think i need to have a format like
Microdesign Internetbureau Gevers Deynootweg 93
2586 BK, Den Haag
Nederland
Tel 085-744 0594
Fax 085-554 4574
info@microdesign.nl
www.microdesign.nlJust everywhere exactly the same right?

As a matter of course, I would add your website address to your contact page as well. Under your e-mail address would be fine - but that is just a very small part of local SEO.
However, rather than go over everything here, this is a great article that will help you make sure you are doing everything you can. Moz also has a check list to refer to.
Grab a coffee and have a good read through these

Hi,
Can I ask if you have your NAP (Name, Address, Phone) in place correctly on your site? Do you have citations coming from other sites at all? It can also help to get some reviews about your business too, although this isn't likely to cause you not to be placed.
Finally, have you completed all the local SEO work on your site to help with this? From what you have said above, you might be lacking in this a little, but hard to know without seeing the site.

[Local Search] Do you get penalized by using a Google Voice number for each seperate business location?
My client is expanding and opening up separate locations and I will be getting all their online business listings up and running. The client wants to use a single 1-888 number for all locations, however, it was my assumption that they would need a local number for each location to improve their ranking. Could I suggest using free Google voice numbers that get forwarded to their 1-888 number or will Google discredit us for this?

Has Google Local search algorithm changed in the last 6 months?
My organic search results have increased, but I noticed that my Google local search results have dropped drastically. I haven't changed anything on the local side. I consistently get reviews. In my industry, I have more reviews (all 5 star) than anyone else. It actually shows weird results, like competitors that have no reviews and don't even have all of their information filled out. It is even showing competitors that are out of business. I have a lot of citations with the same NAP. I use Moz local for this purpose as well. So, I am wondering if the algorithm has changed and if I need to update my profile to match it. Thank you in advance!

Hello, I'm wondering how to add a business to Yahoo Local. I've tried searching for the URL to add it, but keep getting redirected to https://www.aabacosmallbusiness.com/advisor . Has Yahoo outsourced their business listings, or am I just not finding the page I'm looking for? Shauna

Local Profile Struggling
Hi guys, we have a client that we are having some issues with. We have done extensive directory work for them, so this is unusual. Their Google My Business profile isn't ranking hardly at all, although they have decent organic rankings. Here is the company: https://plus.google.com/+ComfortAireHeatingCoolingPlumbingWisconsinRapids/about We have two possible reasons, but before we spend the time fixing these we were hoping for some reassurance from the Moz community. 1)Name in GMB looks spammy. This truly is their name, but we thought it may be an issue due to the keywords. 2)Address inconsistency: The client wanted us to use 880 Highway 73 South, Wisconsin Rapids, WI 54494 so that is how we submitted it to aggregators and directory sites. Google didn't accept that, they changed it to: 880 WI-73 Wisconsin Rapids, WI 54494. The USPS Zip code checker didn't accept either of these, they use 880 STATE HIGHWAY 73 S, WISCONSIN RAPIDS WI 54494. Do you guys think one of these is our issue, or could it be something else. Thanks in advance for your insights!
