Issues claiming businesses via Google+ places?
-
Is anyone else dealing with issues claiming a business location on Google places?
After already going through the process of claiming our business locations and verifying ownership. It seems that we have to do it again for google+ places.
I don't want to create a duplicate of the business, and i'm not sure If I should delete it from my places account, before trying to claim it again on google places.
Have you dealt with this issue, or is it new to you as well?

Hi Cyril,
Owner verification checkmarks have not been transferred to the new Google+ Local pages. I recommend reading this Google And Your Business Forum thread on this topic:

I think that will really clear this mystery up for you!

Lol let me know so I can send Google a bill too.
I was out of Google Places for about 2 or 3 months, then I show up with another company address and phone number and etc. A lot of issues.
4 months after I'm start getting ranking again, but now the reviews appear and disappears from time to time. Customers can't leave me reviews at this time.
I hope it works faster for you... Good luck!

Thanks for your response Rafael,
I assumed as much.
I'll try to wait it out. If I directly loose dollars, can I send google a bill?
Or should I shut up and be happy Google doesn't send me one for all their free services?
Peace

I think Google Places is slow because on the transition to Google+ Places, I'm having issues with the reviews don't show sometimes, wrong information listed, mixed information from another listed. Give them some time about 3 or 4 weeks if not then contact google support.

Hey Nathan,
I have submitted the little form via google places ... however.
The main reason I had to claim again was because my location got hi-jacked by some other jerk. Which I didn't think was possible. I've had this location owned and verified for years, but not until google+ went hyper local places on me did the change occur. See Links...

So in trying to claim my listings again, I've gotten the verification pin in the mail, added it, but still no confirmation that I own the location

You should not have to claim again.
Have you already contacted google support? It takes for ever to get resolution to issues however once you have a trouble ticket started you will typically be able to email directly.

Two Distinct Businesses, same address?
I have a client who shares a location with another business. That is, they are both distinct businesses with unique names and phone numbers but they both share space in their suite – i.e. half the desks in the space go to the one business, the other half belong to my client. Can I set them up with Google My Business with this shared address and suite number? Thanks

How businesses get local citations without submitting them?
How do some businesses get listed in directories like YellowBook, SuperPages, MerchantCircle, etc. without submitting their information. For example, my dad's company listed themselves in YellowPages and Google Places years ago, but also show up in the ones listed above without having submitted the information to them or having paid anyone else to do it...

Google places - We currently do not support the location
Hi My Google places listing has vanished from the local search results, and when clicking on the 'see your listing on Google' link from the Google Places dashboard I am getting the message We currently do not support the location What is causing this is it due to another listing with the same address? I have now deleted this extra listing which is now showing as suspended until I enter the pin which will remove it. But what other steps do I need to take to get the listing back on google places search results?

Google Review requirements
I'm considering asking some of our clients to leave a Google review on places page. Currently we've focused more on LinkedIn recommendations but this has not impact on local search results. So my questions is what do our clients require to leave a Google review? Do they need a Google + profile? Do they need a Google + business page? Or would a personal gmail account suffice? Appreciate any feedback you have!
