My Business in Multiple Locations leaving me with 3 unanswered questions

[nutgrass]

Hello, first time poster but long-time Google User here, I had a few questions that tie together, I believe this is the appropriate place to ask:

My company wants to add MyBusiness Locations all across America. We are headquartered in Chicago but our services are online and in person, offering travel agency tools.

We have learned how to bulk upload city lists but we are having trouble with this:

Say we make 40 My Business Accounts in popular cities, tied to our Chicago address (which it looks like Google allows) will we:
- Receive separate reviews for all of these locations?
- Will verifying 40 postcards work to our Chicago location? (We just had a sample one sent to Chicago for a Texas My Business page)
- Are there any penalizations that Google may account for us by utilizing locations in this way?

You shouldn't be able to create those locations through bulk. At least, I'd be surprised if it works. They shouldn't get approved since they're against the guidelines. To be eligible for listings in all those locations you need to have a physical office at each location that is staffed.

Yep, I agree with Darren, this is 100% against the guidelines.
