Is that a problem on g00gle? I'm looking to open a second site and the address I'm looking to use is also used by a business my dad runs. Is that a problem? Can two business have the same address and not be penalized or something?

Thanks

  • That won't be a problem as long as the business names and phone numbers are different.

    Just be sure to have the website done properly with clear service info (matching the categories chosen in G+ Local) and contact info (again, matching G+ Local and other citations), and have a bunch of the major business directory listings done.

    Also make sure the businesses are not connected in anyway online (sharing a website / social profile, etc.)

    It is for an exclusively online business. - Are the major directory listings still acceptable for that?

    Thanks

  • Ah, if it's just online, then you shouldn't be concerned with address. That sort of thing would only affect you if you're trying to rank locally.

    But if you'd also like to rank for your local terms, then yes... the directory listings are necessary.

    Not sure if some business directories are useful for national / international search ranking.

    Hi,

    It wont be any problem until and unless you are having the different business name and phone number.

    Once i had my listings swapped by google on google locals (now google +) with another office which was in the same building as we both gave same address.
    Not sure if they have sorted it out now.

    there is no problem until you claim your GP listing and your NAP is changed than old Biz NAP. so Google will consider it new biz.
