Haven't researched WhiteSpark or the citations forum this will be great, thank you!

excellent read, i hope this isn't out of the realm of this forum but is there a good source or tool for submitting listings to some of these directories?

So I'm nearly 100% sure I know the answer here BUT! We have had a few clients lately that are SABs and want their address shown. Now I've seen what appears to be preferred placement for businesses that have their address showing even if they are home addresses, but it still seems suspiscious to...

Thanks for clearing that up. Two of those sites are pre-existing sites the client already had, I don't think that Google would subtract from their local though just because a business had multiple organic options. I was able to find this URL https://plus.google.com/113147161060512949757 it...

Other Google products are still available within the accounts without any warning messages, not sure if that's an indication that the accounts are not flagged. Is there another way to tell?

One of the clients was in an Admin account while the others all had their own designated account Waterpower Solutions in Ankeny IA is one of the problem children we have. Phone: (515) 218-7043 I thought that it was part of their crackdown on spam but I can't see anything uniform between the...

Hello, over the course of the last month or so I have had a handful of my client's listing being marked as spam. All of which are SABs, they have clean addresses which are hidden on the listing and on the associated website. I have submitted reconsideration requests and attempted to call and...

Hello, Over the past few weeks it looks like I have been seeing less and less local map packs showing. Very rarely now do I really see the 7 pack or even the 3 pack while the single box and pure organic results are increasing. Its not completely gone or anything but I know that terms that used...

That's a bummer. I've been sending feedback to Google when I see it so hopefully it won't stick around too long; Mike seemed to have had some success there so I guess I'll just have to keep at it. Thank you Colan

Hello, I have been seeing this more and more lately where a maps listing is displaying SEO data from the website like so: I hope you can see this without too much difficulty. The search is "windshield repair covina ca", the results only bring up one listing! It looks like it is verified but...

Greetings, I was curious as to what some of your thoughts are on the new process for claiming or being added as a manager on Google (what used to be) Places. A few co-workers of mine are trying to figure out the smoothest, most trouble free way to obtain management for already claimed listings...

I called Google's Support line and they were actually very friendly and were able to rectify the situation. Only took about 10 min too, so thats nice. I wasn't able to really get any insight on the source of the issue unfortunately. Its nice to know that there is a solution, but avoiding the...

Here is an example of the dashboard, I hope this is what you were looking for.

Oh no, you're fine Linda :p But I'm not doing the fresh content or listing pokes, sorry I missed that post I'll have to go take a look. Thank you for looking into this !

Good Response! I do not make edits often or take them lightly. Originally though my setup process was not as full proof and accurate as it is now so on occasion NAP edits are necessary. Other circumstances force a postcard for even Category, Description, or Image edits even. Its very hit or...
