Can I add multiple listings for my business for the different services I provide?
-
Hi there everyone. I'm a Moz Local user and I have a quick question.
I'm a music teacher. Can I add multiple listings for my business for the different services I provide? For example - Saxophone lessons, Piano lessons etc...?
That way I would have different listing profiles for each instrument - all pointing to a different landing page on my website? Or is this considered to be bad practice?
Many thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Jack!
Thanks for asking a good question. Local listings are all about physical location - not about services or instruments. Google's guidelines (https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177?hl=en) do a good job of describing this. So, your local listings represent your physical location and not the variety of services you offer. Because Moz Local relies on Google and Facebook for valid data, we'll want to find just one listing per location you operate from for the business on these platforms. You can, however, use the business description field to talk about your services, the instruments you teach, etc. Hope this helps!

Thanks Benjamin. I assume so too
Just trying to know for certain, to make sure I'm not missing out on an opportunity/way of presenting my business in the best possible way.
Still be good if anyone has a strong line on this to hear...

I'm sorry i cant be a great help here, but something tells me Google prefers just a clean slate singular listing. I probably would not recommend it though as i could imagine it would create some sort of confusion and congestion.
I hope you can find a more detailed answer to your question.

GMB Listing Radius for Areas Served
I know with the google my business listing that if you have someone provides services at a customer home you can include the radius or specific cities. I just came across a listing that seems to have a different way of showing this on the map - https://goo.gl/maps/f1xgEvYnPqF2. Does anyone know how this is possible?

Google my business : Multiple businesses operating from the same location.
After multiple phone calls with Google My Business help, I'm still completely stumped! I need to set up Google my business pages for 5 business', however, each of these companies work in the same office - so the location used on Google my business would be the same. I want to know if this is possible? Surely there's ways to do it, especially since the increase of hot-desking and shared offices! Thanks

[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?

Yext Listings: Why don't I see new inbound links?
The company I work for recently switched over to Yext to manage the local listings for our 275+ locations. Our listings have now been live with Yext for over 3 weeks and I'm wondering A. when should I expect to see new inbound links from these yext listings? and B. In what ways can I expedite the process? I've already re-crawled our site, but is there anything else I can do? This is my first experience with Yext so any thoughts or suggests about how to get the most out of the product would also be appreciated. Thanks,

How do you get listed on Yahoo?
Where is yahoo's "add your business" link? I cannot find it. All I can find is their "yahoo local works" product, which I do not want to buy. I just want to add my listing like I can do with hotfrog, bing, infogroup...pretty much everyone else...except yahoo. Please save me from this frustration, so I can get back to enjoying my Friday. Thanks, Ruben
