There is a HVAC company that has a Google+ page with the address listed and roofing as their category. How are they able to go from nowhere in sight to the top of rankings in the matter of 3 or 4 weeks? This is both confusing and frustrating. Take a look...

I have clients that get these calls, too. The number is always changing, but the calls are the same. The most recent number is 802-488-3091. When I call that number it just says "press 1 to have your number removed from the call list." I finally was able to get a client to play dumb and go...

It looks like the business has two legitimate office locations. The other six claimed locations are in model homes for neighborhoods they have built and developed.

I came across a new home builder that has 8 claimed locations. At least 5 of those are model homes. Google's guidelines are not clear in this situation. Has anyone delt with this before? Is this a legit listing? I didn't see any other posts about this when I glossed over the threads. Thanks

I have had three different clients receive calls similar to this. It is extremely frustrating to deal with. I have sent an e-mail to all of my clients to keep them from giving a PIN to anyone but me.

I am refraining... Although, the new page layouts look great. I hope there is an easy way to transfer multi-location businesses when the bugs are worked out. Thanks for the help, Linda.

Thanks for the reply and info, Linda. I have handled bulk claims in the Places dashboard for clients before. I am just curious if there is/will be a way to bulk merge places pages with G+ or just bulk claim in G+? This is something I have not heard much about. Thanks

I have a potential client that has many locations. Is there a bulk upload method through Google+ Local yet? If so, how? If not, what is the best practice for a multiple location business with too many locations to go in individually and claim? Thanks. I looked through the forums and didn't...

Yes, sir. It has happened to me twice today on two different accounts. Glad it isn't just me.

I am comparing Chrome to FF now and it is still showing the circle on Chrome and the Square of FF. Not a biggie, but could be interesting for design purposes.

Discovered a little quirk yesterday. Chrome had the circle image display on the new layout. Firefox still had the square image with the new layout for the same page. Anyone else notice this or any other differences between search engines?

I like it. It was a sudden change! I refreshed a client's page and boom!

I will check them all out. Thanks for the help. Sorry for the re-post.

Ok... This is going in a different direction that anticipated. I understand a New England lawyer directory isn't going to do much good for an Oklahoma plumber. I just thought there would be some lists of standard, go to citations that worked (nearly) universally. Like Citysearch or YP and so on...

True... We could hit the main categories of healthcare, service based businesses (roofing, construction, heat & air, etc), retail businesses and so on and so forth. I was just curious what citations the pros immediately go to... in general. Where is the juiciest low hanging fruit located?
