Google Places
-
Hi everyone,
I accidentally added a google place account for a client that had already an existing account. Could you tell me if I delete the new account if it will affect the existing one? If deleting isn't good what should I do? And what are the different risks if there are?
Thank you,
-
Duh! My mistake....thank you for pointing this out, Searchpl. I meant to type 'the new one' and somehow typed 'the old one'. Really sorry about this and I appreciate you asking the question the drew my attention to my mistake. Thanks!

Thank you everybody!!

Hi Miriam,
Why should the old one be deleted rather than the new account?
-
It should be okay to delete the old one once you've claimed it. But I'm including the 'should' because of the unpredictability of certain aspects of Google Places. I think you will be fine, though.

Deleting the new one will not hurt the first one.
-
So probably deleting the one in process of waiting the pin is safe?
-
not yet. I just sent the second one and my client will be getting the pin shortly. They aren't different, they are identical. So I guess removing the one in process (second account) would be safe?
-
Hi Taysir,
Did you actually verify this account? Are you seeing 2 Place Pages for the client at the same address, or just one? If two, are they exact matches? Are they different from one another in any way?
Can you provide a little more information, please?

Deleting the new account wont affect anything. You used a separate email and login yes? Then the other will be fine.

Merging Google+ with Google Local
Greetings Mozzers, I'm having a tough time merging my Google+ page with my Google Local page and wanted to see if anyone could give me some additional information/advice for progressing on this. Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112342618763108384372/about?hl=en Google Local: https://plus.google.com/104995472630988321277/about?gl=us&hl=en Both of them have been verified and "managed" via postcards, however the Local one never seems to get "managed". I look forward to hearing back on any guidance/advice. Much appreciated,

Reasons for store not showing up on Google?
Hi my client has a store which is not showing up on Google search results. E.g. if you looked up store name and store location on Google, all the stores in that particular city show up except one. Also even if you click the: More results near CITY, and State the stores listing still doesn't show up. So for some reason Google has excluded the store from Google search. But if you go to Google Maps directly, and type in the same keyword "STORE NAME CITY" the store is displayed and there. Does anyone know any reason why the store has been excluded from Google search results, but is listed successfully on Google Maps.

Genuine Reciprocal Google Places Reviews, is that OK?
I have a client who works with other businesses, is it OK to have reciprocal reviews going on, they would be genuine reviews both both sides as they work for each other. Is that OK? Is it best for my client to use the Google Account that holds their Google Places page for doing the reviews? Or should they have a separate account for writing reviews, not associated with their business? I would appreciate your thoughts on this please? Many thanks Leo

Google local question - over optimization?
I run a law firm with multiple practice areas (bankruptcy, probate, estate planning, personal injury). I have a google places page with those categories listed. I recently spoke with an seo company (that cold called me...) that told me that it was "black hat" to try to optimize a local campaign for more than one of those practice areas. That doesn't seem right to me. Any thoughts?

Strange behaviour at google places
Hello Seomoz! I have strange behaviour at google places with one company. I have submitted company Air Condition SPB to goole places and it was on the 13th page at google places (keyword "продажа кондиционеров Санкт-Петербург"), and after some days it disappeared from google places at all for that keyword and many others. After that I did changes in company name at google places and that company appeared at google places again. And I was watching this strange behaviour at google places for that company many times. Could you tell me what can cause that strange behaviour? Thank You, Dmitri
