Linda, Thanks for jumping in on these other issues. I didn't realize that appearing in the Carousel would pre-empt an additional organic listing. I mentioned Banquets, (it's a category) but I'm pushing Wedding Venue, and really I'm not optimizing for North Aurora, but "Chicago Western Suburbs"...

Broland, I've been reading differences of opinion on whether to worry about abbreviating St. or Street, N. and North and the like. Some SEOs say Search is smarter than that. But our address issues, typically land the marker across town, or in the Fox River, or way way across state... or...

Hi Dusty, We did a phone pin verification, was unable to edit the listing, then Express Update said that they need to call the business b4 edits will be allowed. Customer has not told me if this happened. But I don't think we will be able to edit the Name. Meanwhile, I found out about Acxiom...

Thank you Linda for explaining. I really tried to be succinct in my first question, but the listing issues are so convoluted, I almost feel it's a set-up to a punchline- Kathy

Dear forum, I just noticed in another thread Linda B. mentioned it would be helpful to her to not have to jump between threads piecing mysteries together. My issues that I want to be posting here revolve around one client and ultimately Google (and specifically still pertain to NAP) even IF --...

Hello Forum, This is my first post, and I need advice.. am totally stumped. My client Fox Valley Country Club -has all 3 N+A+P issues, but this long post (sorry) concerns Street Address. Google Places only acknowledged this for street: "2500 Illinois 25" But client's address is: 2500 N. Route...
