I would say it's best practice to have only one set of NAPs per page, but as long as you only mark up the Agent's NAP on the Agent page, it won't make much of a difference. Info on how to use Schema markup: How to Use Schema Markup for Local SEO | Search Engine Journal

Same here. Called 2 locations yesterday to claim listing and Yelp never called.

Can you describe how you got this resolved? I have various franchise owners of a franchise that do not know their login info to their business dashboard on Yelp, and I would like to reclaim these listings under one dashboard I can control. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for this Adam, really helpful stuff. I'm currently using the Whitespark Local Citation Finder, and will definitely look into the Local Rank Tracker.

I don't think Google can do much in terms of penalties for poor design, being that design is subjective, and the Google bots only view HTML. Site speed is definitely a big factor though, so a fast site that is designed poorly would most definitely have better rankings than a beautiful site that...

Adam, did you ever work with businesses that had locations very near each other? I am working with a client that has 6 locations in the same city, and I'm wondering if it would be possible to rank all locations in the first page for the Google Local 7 pack for this city. They are all linking to...
