Google places local businsess listings

Hi guys this is my first post here. I have just recently launched my first website and Google places local listing for my business about 3 months ago. The website is going great but I have having problems with my Google Places local page.

The problem is that my business is international and in Asia. I tried to register with most of the major business listing websites but they don't' allow my address. Can anybody assist me in how to list my business in many business listings to help rank my google place local page?

The second problem is that I was having customers give google + reviews and that moved me up a bit but today I woke up and the google + reviews were removed and I had moved down a rank on google local. My reviews were legit reviews so I am not sure what this means.

Thanks guys, I am looking forward to your responses.

    I am not sure how it is with an address over seas, but are you trying to put your business in the us. They are a little strict on their clarification process to clarify where you live. Have you verified your location for google places yet? Sorry I can't help much, not familiar with accounts for asia.

    Hey betterwtveter,

    Yes my google places is verified. I am trying to list my international business address that is located in Asia so that it matches my Google place page.

      Hey ClinchMonkey,

      Not sure what you mean... Your business is in Asia and you're trying to rank for that business on GP but can't get it accepted into directories?

      Could it be because you're submitting your business listing to directories not based in Asia?

      You'll need to find local/regional directories for submission. Usually international directories won't allow you to submit your business to them. You can go on Fiverr and pay someone 5 bucks to get a list of your local directories where you can submit your listing to.

      I'm just a little confused over the location of your business and your target audience. You're trying to rank your GP for a keyword that's around your region or internationally? :confused:

      Seems like you may have to set up two websites + addresses if you're targeting international clients but your business is located in Asia. Because GP is after all a 'localized' business directory for web users.

      Sorry to hear about the review too... Not sure why either.

    Yes as what esther said, you could have mistaken your location for google places, have you verified in your back office on google what city and country you are listed.
