I've had many back and forth emails on this with Express Update (Infogroup) and CityGrid. This is likely a problem for many law firms, doctors, etc where there are multiple professionals under a single company.
The problem is with duplicate listings. For a client of mine, they have two listings in infogroup as well as citygrid.

You'll notice they are identical except for the name of one listing is the professionals name vs. the name of the firm. Express Update and CityGrid will not remove the listing, despite already claiming it.
They state that in this industry, customers are likely to search for the professionals name vs. the firm name. So they won't remove it. Does this negatively affect local search in your mind?
What do you do with your attorney and doctor clients? Use the firm name, or create multiple listings for each professional?
