Hi Guys, We have a business account with Google Places with 50+ locations. We are having issues where the Google will automatically update business listings with new phone numbers and change opening times. I'm not sure why - as the listing is verified in our account and we want ways to...

Hi Joy, Thanks for the response. When you say: Local Finder are you referring to google maps or a tool? Cheers.

Hi researching tools to find duplicate listings in 2018. I came across: Google My Business Page Finder - Michael Cottam Which was recommended here previously, but i tried it and i don't believe it's no longer working. Well it didn't find duplicate listings of the my listing which i found...

Hi one of our listings is suspended see screenshot here: https://d.pr/i/04Ucov This is the URL of the places profile. I believe it?s soft suspension as the listing is visible on Google see screenshot. In google places it says its banned due to quality issues. See screenshot. Based on this...

Hi i was wondering is there much benefit in linking to the Google Places listing (e.g to https://plus.google.com/105249706408280194726/about?gl=au&hl=en) improve its rankings and local visibility in the search results? I've been building citations, with the correct and consistent NAP but it...

Hi can someone confirm if this is still the case? By putting the image you want featured in search, first, it is the one which is featured on Google Search results? Via GP, our client still seems to have the old version of Google Places. I want to get the correct featured image to display (a...

Sorry that is a example, not the actual listing. Sorry should had been clear!

Hi have a client who wants to change the primary listing for his listing (no chance in changing his mind). The listing had a static business logo as the primary image display on the search results (which was added via our Google places dashboard) e.g. We then started to upload public...

Hi i have noticed that every time we update a address via Google places bulk uploader (via edit your data file) not the actual excel sheet. We change the address, however the listing does not go into pending. So it's as if the listing had updated without going to pending. However if you go...

Hi quick question - how do you control the images which Google shows first or as the main image when you are uploading multiple images. For instance the image in the search result: Is it based on which pictures you put in first when updating/creating the listing e.g: How do i get google to...

Hi Linda, CBD is a abbreviation of central business district. Sorry not sure what you mean by - "The listing is disconnected in blended and only ranking in organic". -- 1) Might be, i will make the removal. But i don't think that will cause this issue. -- 2) The address is there 307...

Hi Guys, I have a Google places listing which is not triggering for keyword specific to its geographic location on Google (see screenshot 1) The store is located in the CBD close to store B on the map. So it should be triggering on the first page of Google for the keyword term. Listing url...

Hi i'm looking at advice on how to remove or change a particular image Google is displaying in the search results. From the first look of it, i assumed the image would be related and be on the dealers Google+ Local Page: https://plus.google.com/118099386834104087122/about?hl=en But there...

Thanks for that information, very helpful. I did what you mentioned, entered the phone number, however it wants us to validate the listing (sms, phone, mail). We manage over 400+ stores, and have used Google Bulk upload. Is there anyway to transfer the listing or even other listings without...

Hi, i have a client who had google place listing created by a third party. My client now wants to claim the listing and take control over it. When we select the "is this your business?" manage this listing (because we want to claim the listing), while logged onto our GP account, it goes...
