Having received a few messages through the new app mechanism, I notice that it shows me responding as myself, not as the business owner. When using the text messages, my responses were simply tagged as ‘business owner’ without any personally identifying information. For my own business page...

I’m rather warming to Mike Blumenthal’s theory which is that the business’ website has more relevance and hence the KP is not ‘needed’ so to speak. I know for my own business, and several for whom I assist with management, the KP does not come up if I search for my exact biz name, even with...

Re: Are you using GSC for your local data? Tracking your utm's & "Near Me" Queries Good stuff. Do you recommend a different utm code for GMB, Bing Places, Yelp, etc? It looks like Yext lumps all directories with same code but I was thinking the visibility would be nice to see so long as it...

I noticed it too, thought it was weird, especially when logged into Chrome where Google clearly ?knows? what I am expecting to see so to speak. Can force the knowledge graph to appear by leaving off a word of the brand name or by misspelling it.

Re: 5 Ways Understanding Differences Between Map Maker & GMB Guidelines Can Help You Awesome info ... Sadly I count myself among the {previously} confused... But now I have new hope🤗

Re: Google My Business & GMBL Update Rolling Out Now - Better Nav/UI I had the same issue Jim had - whether logged in as myself or as one of my customers, for some reason Google automatically starting presenting me with "list" view even though I was logging in and going to GMB the way I...

Thought you might be interested to see how that same pack looks now that Google has removed the unverified G+ pages... turns out several in this pack had pages that were created by the Google algo & never verified!(including not just my "mystery" page that started the question, but indeed the...

ahh... but dustybones, here is the trick: that G+ page you posted is not the page listed in the pack! That page you posted appears to be their page associated with their Ponte Vedra address, and is claimed (ish) ... but the page in the pack is for their Jacksonville address (which may be...

Interesting because the top 2 pages in the example (Scheurman K9 Academy and K-9 Obedience Club) are *also* unclaimed G+ pages and yet they have the link.

So I have seen this from time to time lately and couldn't find any posts out here about it. In the local pack Google is not listing the Google+ page for the business - even though that business does have one (albeit unclaimed) and it even has a solid review. (This is not my customer or my own...

Yes I am seeing it here in Jacksonville FL, but so far only with closed businesses... but it's pretty consistent.
