Google + Local User Friendly "NOT!"

0 replies
Working on getting a local listing hashed out for one of my service businesses.

Before I created my actual local listing I'd heard about creating a map first and then it might be possible to phone verify. So early in December I tried to create a map but used a virtual address.

It took many weeks but that map was NOT approved.

Forward to now and I've created, verified my goog + local with pin... it's found in maps..sometimes shows on goog when I search my biz name BUT...

The area that shows my new physical location on the map is...drum roll....the virtual address I tried to use from several months ago!

That map was "denied" and of course because of that fact it won't let me edit or change or even delete it. When I try a message comes up saying it was already deleted.

Despite that fact on my current goog local listing it shows that old address on the map

Interestingly.. this all seemed to occur "after" I ticked the option to hide or not use my address in the setup.

I did this because It's a service biz and I don't get customers at my location. Goog seems fussy about this now and other service businesses have had their listing removed because they did not hide their address.

Possibly a coincidence but prior to me selecting the option to not show my address the correct address was showing in my listing although I'm not ranking for my terms yet.

I've even got citations and used my NAP on all of my videos on a tube channel that are ranking high.. still it's showing that first map I created as my location.

What I did today was to actually "MOVE" the icon in the map to the correct location..can't see a way to save it but it does allow me to move the map location.. so trying that to see if it sticks.

Again... it won't let me actually edit the map location because it says it was denied and appears deleted.
