Help with Google places please

3 replies
Hi!

I have a customer I just made a website for. I told them I would also make their google page.

It appears they re already listed but have not claimed the page.

I checked their phone # on the page and it s the correct one, however when I click on manage this page, i m asked for the ph# to see if listing is known and it shows as unknown.

But I certainly don t want to create a duplicate listing!

Also, am I supposed to claim this with my own email address? I have no idea of the details of this. I just want to have the page claimed, add some photos and a link back to the site...

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Best,

    I think you really missed something in your phone #. you can also use post card verification for this account, but that will take some time. you should check this listing again that everything is filled proper.

    First... log into the Google account you wish to use to manage the page. I recommend using a new Gmail account. You do not want this tied to any personal / business account you use. You'd want to be able to hand this account over to the client.

    Next, click on manage this page. If you're prompted to enter the phone number, do that and see if Google presents you with the listing. You can then proceed to claim it.

    If the listing is already claimed, Google will let you know that you do not have access and that only the verified owner can modify the page.

    If you get any other option, you know that it isn't claimed.
