Hi James,

Google is getting better at normalizing standard address variations.

I have a whole section in my course about this part... really important.

Before you even start to build citations you need to be sure NAP is right in the GMB dash to begin with. Bunch of stuff you need to check and also ask client about cuz getting NAP right there is critical.

Then when you go to build citations exactly match NAP from the GMB listing.

HOWEVER if existing citations are correct, just formatted a little differently don't worry.

She's gotten really good at understanding # vs Suite and Rd vs Road.
And I don't think punctuation matters at all.

Do you know of any men that are so difficult to understand, complex, fickle, moody, and always changing?

You mean my Local SEARCH forum? Yes I just saw you there.

Me hang??? I'm so busy I never leave the house EVER!

And now in the middle of trying to develop my new Advanced Google My Business course - it's totally nuts.
I'm holed up the entire weekend including the 4th of July working on it.

It keeps growing and I can't fit everything in. Too many damn changes to cover lately.
Driving me nuts!

iAmNameLess has the general idea.

I think of Google as a he. It's only Google LOCAL I think of as a she.

But I Have PROOF Google Local IS A SHE!!!

Is Google+ Local a SHE or a HE? Proof it's a SHE

So true right???

Thanks

In addition to all of those reasons Google Local is a she...

Just when you think you have her all figured out, she changes the rules on you!

If you try to fool her, you'll pay! Maybe not today or tomorrow, but eventually she WILL find out!

She doesn't like it when you hang out in bad neighborhoods.

She doesn't want your money......but she'll eventually take your soul!

Sorry James, just took your thread off topic, but you asked if I was sure she is a she! LOL!
