One of the basic tools SEO's use to determine the strength of their website's rankability and trust on behalf of Google is a website audit. This process effectively gives you an outline of your ranking factors and potential issues that you can fix such as 404 disconnects, incorrect 301 redirects, improper heading usage or missing meta tags, among 100 other factors. This is what I think you should have done for your website.
If you want a DIY method, several website audit tools include:
SEMRush (semrush.com)
SEM PowerSuite (Website Auditor)
WooRank (woorank.com)If you want someone to go over the results of the audit with you, it would be a good idea to consider hiring an SEO consultant who will be able to make sense of your audit and help you reach your SEO goals.
From the sounds of it, my gut tells me it has something to do with a 301 redirect error or set up errors with respect to your site. There is a small chance it's related to your Google+ profile or perhaps to duplicate content or your link profile, but these are less likely.

This is a complicated scenario - there is no "simple" answer to what you are asking because there are so many factors at play here.
My suggestion is that you conduct a local SEO audit on your website to determine what ranking factors you need to work on. It might be as simple as failed optimization on your Google+ page to limited local site authority or even that it wasn't properly registered. It could be that you need further reviews on your Google+ or 100 other things. Without direct access to your site there's not much I can tell you from the outside other than that a site audit would probably do you good.
If you merged two pages to become one, it might be something to do with the redirect process (assuming this is what you did). If you made alterations and your rankings suddenly dropped through the floor, this suggests that there is something Google has picked up that it isn't happy with. Again, a website audit would probably do some good in this scenario.
Hope this helps! If you need further help feel free to ask.
All the best!

Local SEO for E-commerce
Hi there I am running an ECommerce site that supplies products globally! We have 2 administrative offices - the UK and Ireland. When setting Google my business, do you suggest setting 2 listings - one for the UK and one for Ireland? Both listings will link to the same E-Commerce homepage but with different phone numbers. Please give me advice=)

Local Search filter or penalty
Hi to everyone!
Local Listings | | SpanishDancer
Our business is ranking very well on Google in our niche (diving zanzibar).
We constantly work on SEO and use MozPro to follow our ranking. Our problem is on LOCAL SEARCH and GOOGLE MAPS.
Our GMB is optimized, updated, has many photos and the most review in our niche.
We use to rank in the first 3 results for most search terms (for example: diving zanzibar, zanzibar diving).
Since October 2017 our ranking dropped to the bottom of the GMB results and never recovered. We suspect that our business is being filtered or panelised for 3 reasons:
1. When registering on GMB years ago, we entered our site title as our business name (Diving Zanzibar - Spanish Dancer Divers - PADI 5 Star). In September 2017 after reading the guidelines, we changed the business name to the real name (Spanish Dancer Divers)
2. We are located in Zanzibar (Africa) where physical addresses do not exist. Not Knowing which address is best to enter on GMB we kept trying different options ("Nungwi Beach, Nungwi, Zanzibar", "Nungwi, Zanzibar", Nungwi Beach, Zanzibar, Tanzania, etc..) A week ago, in order to check why we are being filtered, we have changed the address again. The result was an immediate drop of 3 more places.
3. A year ago, we have been receiving many ratings and photos that belong to a restaurant next to us. Google support was useless so we decided to move our map locating a mile into the ocean to prevent getting those ratings and photos. Since then, we have move our location on map back to our real location. Is there a way to know what we are being filtered for? how long will that last? is there a way to fix that?
Business name: Spanish Dancer Divers
Search term: diving zanzibar, zanzibar diving, tauchen sansibar, plongee zanzibar and many others
Website: https://www.divinginzanzibar.com/ Thanks ahead for your help.

Multiple locations and local directories
Hello, A client has opened a new office in another city. I have created a local landing page for this city. Now I want to build citations for it. However, I have already set up directories like Yelp/Yell with the primary/original address in the original city. Is it OK to set up new citations using the new city local address. The company name stays the same obviously. So I will have duplicate listings on the directories for the same company. Will this work? Thanks for any help

Local search results question
Hello, I wonder if anyone can help. I have a client who is based outside the main city that he is wanting to rank in. The address on his website is his own home which is about 20 miles from the city. However, he services the city and the surrounding area. His ranking for the very competitive keyword is on page 2 and won't budge. We have made his Google+ page show the servicing area to include the city. We add new content regularly. The onsite SEO is strong and the city name is in the Title and H1 tags. We have lots of local consistent citations for him. This usually results in movement in the SERPS in my experience. But after 3 months this keyword is stuck whilst his other less competitive keywords are moving up. He is ranking 1st for the local area to his home address for the competitive keyword. So my question is - is this purely a result of his local address. Does Google rate him less local than his competitors who have addresses in the city even after we do a lot of citation building etc for him? Will it be possible to rank him for the city? I know 3 months isn't long but still would expect to see some difference. Anyone got any thoughts?
