Hey everyone,
I've been following Joy's advice by generally not claiming individual practitioner pages and, instead, focusing efforts on the company page (unless circumstances dictate otherwise).
However, I've now got one client with multiple practitioner Google My Business pages (all unclaimed) which use the incorrect format (Company name: Practitioner name) as it's not a single practitioner business.
Does this change anything? Is it worth claiming these to simply update the name? With the "Company name: Practitioner name" format, are they more likely to be seen as duplicates of the company listing (not just on Google, but across the whole local ecosystem)?
Ultimately, the business listing is ranking in local search - it's a small town with little competition so probably any action or inaction isn't going to change much.
But, if this issue crops up again, what would people advise?
Thanks!
Martin
