Google My Business Multiple Listing
-
Can a specialist doctor who operates out of several locations have multiple GMB listings? She operates under her company brand name if that makes a difference. Thank you community!

Hi Crystal,
No, the purpose of building the landing pages would be to gain an organic presence, not a local pack presence. Without a local business listing in these other locations, she's not going to be included in the local packs, and from your description, she's not eligible for these other listings. So, the goal of creating content surrounding her affiliation with other institutions in other locations would be organic rankings for these topics.

Thank you Miriam,
Will building the local landing pages help her rank higher in the local pack for searches in those areas?
Thank you, Crystal

Hi Crystal,
You're welcome, and from the additional details you've provided, I would recommend:
-
Just one GMB listing at her central location with her single phone number
-
Build content on the website and socially around her privileges at other clinics
Hope this helps!

Hi Miriam,
Thanks for asking!
Yes that is correct, she has one owned clinic and the others are multi-doctor clinics that are privately owned by others. She sees patients at all three clinics.
I also just realised that she doesn't have phone numbers at the other two clinics. Her secretary works at her own clinic and all patients make appointments through her secretary for all locations.
Does this make it clearer?
Thank you Miriam, Crystal

Hi Crystal,
I might need a bit more info on this to offer best guidance. Am I understanding this correctly:
-
Your client is Dr. Jones.
-
Dr. Jones has her own office at 123 Main St.
-
Dr. Jones does not own any other offices, but she sees patients at the local hospital and at the local health care clinic, as well as seeing them at her office.
-
You want to know if Dr. Jones is then eligible for 3 Google My Business listings since she sees patients at 3 locations, one of which she owns, and two of which she doesn't.
Is this the scenario, or would you describe it differently?
-
-
Yeah definitely you can have as many locations as you want you will of course have to verify each one of those addresses with the postcard verification and confirm the code upon receiving it. I would certainly maintain consistency with the business name, using street names at the end to decipher between them.

Hello there,
Of course, you can, there are many businesses that add their branches into GMB.

Disconnect MOZ Local and Google My Business
I've had problems with one of our eight branch locations when I connected GMB to Moz Local about a year ago. The location was suspended for being a duplicate. I would like to sever the connection so I could keep Moz Local live but at least temporarily delete the suspended Google My Business. Also, if you might have any guides or tutorials on performing this task it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Local Optimization for Multiple Businesses Issues/Strategy
Hello Everyone, So we have a client with a geo-focused ‘sports’ site but they also have a second site they are using to promote the seasonal camps they run. Local demographics and traffic would be a priority and main source of traffic. We know it would be ideal to have all of it consolidated but in this case a separate site was needed. The camp site would be under a different Name but they do not really have a different physical location from the primary site. Assuming we can’t find a discernable different location we could use; from a local optimization perspective we have two questions: Does that mean that we shouldn’t venture into local listings that need an address and trying to rank for map results and instead shift focus to other local strategies (i.e. geo-relevant content, link acquisition….etc.)? – We don’t want to dilute or devalue the primary site at all but if possible would like to be able to come up for both. Should we avoid listing the address on the camp site as text for similar reasons? We know the same business could be listed for multiple locations but any suggestions on the opposite approach or input would be very appreciated. Please let us know if there is anything we could provide details for that might help. Looking forward to hearing from all of you! Thank you in advance. Best,

Google Local Storefront or Google Service Area?
We have been seeing some strange things happen in Google local after the most recent update. We used to show up in the maps all the time and have made no major edits or changes to the profile. Now when we search for our services, we show up high in the organic results, and not at all in maps (local listings). We have our profile setup as a service area since we do meet with people and provide services at their location, but also have checked the option that we also serve people at our address. I am wondering if the recent update favors actual storefronts when people are searching for services. Any ideas? Technically all the actual work is provided at our location, and the service we provide at the service area locations is based upon consultations. If we switched it to an actual storefront listing could that possibly help? Our profile is fairly strong, and has reviews, long history of posts, etc. What gives Google?

Google Maps: Submitted Feedback Changed Results
I came across something interesting today. So there is a business in one of my clients areas that had submitted and was being listed on google maps for some spammy locations. I went in and submitted feedback informing google of bad listings. Within 30 minutes or so my results for the same key phrase was different. I decided to see why. I went to other browsers on my computer and searched that key phrase and the results went back to how I originally saw them before the feedback submission. I then erased my browsers cache and after this the results now showed the original results. Does anybody know what cookies and such get placed in a browser that affect listing results? Sincerely, Garret
