Google states "other sources" but what are they? Also, is it better to add service categories by selecting them within the services area and then adding multiple service offerings into them individually or just add them to the categories area directly?

It appears that only a few of our accounts show up when we try to connect to them from Bright Local (see image below). They are all managed from the same Google account but this is only a handful of the GBP accounts that should be showing up. At first I thought it was something to do with us...

We have recently taken over a listing for our client and would like to change the shortname. If people try to look up the business using the old one, will it redirect to the new one or just link to a dead end?

If, for whatever reason, a GMB listing and its respective listing have multiple phone numbers, not all of which are able to be featured on both the listing and the page (In this specific instance, we have one tracking number in Google to track calls from there, a tracking phone number on the...
