I never even got the phone call! Interested to know if you get anywhere with the e-mail address!

We have one website for our business with multiple locations but we do have separate Google+ listings and local landing pages for each location. To me the trick is to make sure each office has it's own landing page, with robust content, schema markup and tags that indicate where it is. There...

I'm always in the camp of "every little bit helps" so we do a bit of markup on our local landing pages to make sure Big G understands our name, address, phone, etc. But other than that (because we don't get any reviews in our biz) it's pretty limited to that. Like others have said, it won't...

Then did a flat out google search from here in Chicago, IL and attached that as "Number 2"

Hi Joy: Used the BrightLocal emulator and got the attached results for Google Page 1. Then did a flat out google search from here in Chicago, IL and attached that as "Number 2" Take care, Joe

I've had issues with InfoExpress as well. Mine have been: 1. Not "accepting" my updates even though I made them thru the InfoExpress interface 2. have listings mysteriously change - that is previous updates which appeared in the past are no longer appearing. 3. Phone verification not working...

Hi Conor: We too are an LLC and when we first started out on the SEO journey, we used "LLC" in our name. Then a funny thing happened... Over time the LLC was being dropped by aggregators. We found ourselves being truncated to "Equitable Mediation Services" and in some cases "Equitable...

I must get at least one suggested edit a week with incorrect information so this is turning into an issue for me as a multi-location business. They also seem to be sourcing data from multiple aggregators. I know they're picking up data from Factual but I'm also showing incorrect listing in...

Also, has anyone figured out how to report a location closed or moved? I have two listing on Yahoo that have moved and now they are showing both the new and old locations... Yahoo, you make me so sad...

Hi Tim: as a heads up your post inspired me to check my Moz dashboard and local listings and wouldn't you know it. 2 of my listings on InfoGroup were incorrect. Seems they're having an issue with their dashboard matching your claimed listing. So for example, when I search for my business I see...

Hi Tim - I think when designing a local landing page it's important to add elements you feel are applicable in your world. In our world of divorce mediation, there's not a lot of local content we can do as our clients are all confidential so reviews, testimonials, case studies, etc. are all...

I set up Moz accounts for every one of our locations and so far it seems to be working. Hard to really know since the aggregators decide if, when and how they want to update your listing. Some of my locations have better accuracy "scores" than others and I have no idea why. I've also had to...

Joy is spot on. We used this as our inspiration for our local "landing" pages. Still need to work on unique content for each page... man it's tough! :) Here's an example: Divorce Mediation Bridgewater - Equitable Mediation Bridgewater NJ 08807

We have the same situation and our location pages come off of our home page and not our locations page. That is what our agency who set it up recommended and in the 2 years it's been that way, things seem to be working well. Here is our locations page: Divorce Mediation Locations in NJ and...

Chris we have the same issue. Even more interesting is Facebook created the pages for us all with the exact same title for a few of our locations yet we can't go in and create pages for the locations they left out. My suggestion would be to call each page something like "FRANCHISE NAME of...
