Hi Laustin Do you think that's possible? I mean my verified listing has been live for 4 years or so and I've never had problems with it.......If the unverified listing and verified listing show the exact same NAP wouldn't that mean the citations would be equal? Thank you ---------- Post Merged...

Hi Stephen Thanks for your input. I'd suspected that I could just delete the unverified one from my account as it's not showing in the SERP's, just wanted to double check first! Once deleted my original business page won't be linked to a local, do you know if there's any way to merge it with my...

Hi guys I've been reading some other posts about this but still not sure on how best to proceed with things. A while back I created a Google + business page (https://plus.google.com/b/103992572415089809032/103992572415089809032/about) and had a local listing too. I had the new dashboard rolled...

Ok so amazingly the day after I phoned Google support the dupe disappeared, and everything has apparently gone back to normal - I'm going to try editing my description again as that doesn't seem to have changed since my initial edit - and hopefully I won't get the prob back again. Anyway thanks...

Hi Linda Just a quick update, I was able to get Google phone support and the very helpful employee seemed to think the issue may have happened due to an error when updating to the new dashboard. Anyway, he's put in a request for the two listings to be merged and said it would take around 2 -3...

Thanks Linda, will give it a go and let you know how it goes!

Hi Colan Thanks very much for your input. I haven't reported to google yet, Linda mentioned that she'd wait a few weeks to see if the listings merged - I guess now after this amount of time it's best to report the dupe to google? The first link you posted is my listing which I have in my...

Can anybody help?

Hi Linda I'm seeing stars being returned on searches all driving related over here in England! Great news!

Hi guys Just wanted to post a followup now nearly two weeks have passed and to get your advice. Since then, the duplicate listing is still live, and my main listing which I originally tried to edit has remained the same. Strangely too, my main listing is now displaying only my mobile number...

Oh, doesn't sound good........ok thanks Linda, I'll let you know if anything changes, appreciate your help as ever!

Hey Linda. Wow I hadn't noticed that but that's not to say it wasn't there before I made the changes.....just clicked from dash and was taken to https://plus.google.com/111181574076734834981/about?gl=GB&hl=en-GB so I'm guessing that's ok? ---------- Post Merged at 07:21 AM ---------- Previous...

Hi Colan. Thanks for your reply, I haven't made any changes to NAP, only changes to business description and categories. Guess I'll leave it and hope for the best!

Hi guys After having a recent drop in local rankings I've been looking at ways to improve my listing. Linda kindly gave me some tips on another thread which I implemented around a week ago - these included changing my description and service categories. I just logged into my dashboard this...

Hi Dave, thanks for your input. You're absolutely correct, things could be a lot worse and it does seem that this shift has happened due to a change in the algo. The only real negative for me is the fact my reviews are no longer showing on the search result, something I think that stood me apart...
