I operate a service business from home.
I have a google places page verified. However, when I went to upgrade to a google+ local page -> I entered my PIN and google+ listing and it was pending for weeks.
I contacted google and they said because I am a service company with no physical storefront I needed to get google places page and hide address (as most of you already know about this change).
My Question is can a google places page rank ie: show up on google maps. I read Phils great post Can You Rank Well in Local Google without Revealing Your Street Address Anywhere? | LocalVisibilitySystem.com ,
BUT this seems like it is in relation to google+. I have seen some google+ pages rank in the "7 pack" google local maps. However, I have never seen a google places page rank.
Can a google places page rank or do you need a google+ page?
Seeing as a google+ page is likely much stronger. Any advice on how to get a google+ page for a business that operates out of its home and services areas around it..??
I am ok with posting my address. However, will google still require me to use places instead of +local and hide my address. OR is using my home address vs UPS Po box enough to grant me/get pass google and get me a google + page?
Any options for a home business to get a google+ page?
Thanks in advance!
