Thank you so much for your indepth reply mborgelt, I really appreciate it! Yes that is my business. Actually I just changed my business address earlier this morning. I changed it from my personal residence to the office location of my brokers office that I occasionally use for client visits. I...

@Linda, yes that would be very much appreciated. I also noticed one of the top ranking listings in is using a UPS mail suite (something that google instructs us not to do) and is not being penalized.

What is the technical term for keywords in which google returns a list of local businesses as shown in the image below (denoted in a red box). Is the term simply google local listing? Secondly what can you do to improve your ranking. As you will see in this screenshot I am not even listed in...

@Phil Yes, listing my home address online would make me feel uncomfortable. I wish Google would allow UPS Mail Suite, my bank allows it for my business account, and it works for my LLC as well. Is there no other way to do citations? Thanks everyone.

As the topic states, are you able to build citations for your business if you do not have a physical address? Thanks

Thank you Linda so much for taking the time to look into this and offer your feedback "If your marker is showing your exact location I think it's cuz you missed a setting. Right above where it says 20 mile radius, tick that box and add just your city, no zip. Then it will put your marker right...

When I first created my google places business listing their was an option that asked for your preference to show or hide the address that google displayed. I chose to hide my personal address, yet it shows it with a pinpoint on the map. In addition, if you google my business name, google...

I think my listing might be in the G+ profile page and not in the google places listing dashboard. How do I navigate and find my business listing in my G+ profile? Thank you

When I visit Places for Business ? Google and login to my account there is nothing on the main page, even though I have a validated and active listing. I currently have a listing with google+ that works, but for some reason its not showing up in my places for business login. Where can I find...

Thanks for all the help Thaddaeus. Now that g+ authorship is set up correctly on my website (minus the homepage), what influences if google actually uses my picture to where it shows up in the SERPs? I went ahead and added to the website to my analyitcs/web master account as well.

Thanks Thaddaeus, I really appreciate all your help and looking into my home page! I went ahead and approved your comment on my blog, I assume you might be needing it to test something. Thanks again, truly

Thanks again Thaddaeus. As you can see below I have done what you have instructed, yet it still will not show up in the rich snippet tool.

Thank you so much for your indepth reply Thaddaeus. To answer your question 1. Personal g+ profile 2. Its accurate, see the image below. You will see the URL to my personal g+ page, and when you view page source on my home page you will see the same url with the rel=author tag. I downloaded the...

Hello, I am attempting to have my website and g+ authorship set up such that my g+ image shows up in the SERPs for my website. For an example of what I am trying to do see the image below. In my google+ account I set myself as a contributor to my own site, and set up a my profile for g+ in...

@Linda, actually when you go to activate your PIN for the first time it shows you the OLD goolge + listing setup. When I went back to edit the same information it shows the NEw google + listing setup. It is a single listing. Just another item to toss into the bucket for my "google + is...
