Google+ Business Listings: Hours Displayed Incorrectly
-
Hi,
When I do a search for our brand + location name (basically making sure we at least appear for that) the hours displayed are incorrect except when I log into our account to edit the hours they are right.
Ex: Google SERP displays hours 8am - 11pm but within business listing account hours entered are 8pm - 10pm.
Has anyone come across this and why would it be? Is it a case of other citations showing the incorrect hours?
Thanks for your help

Yep Have to take that into consideration, Vadim!

Hi WMCA,
In addition to Vadim's good suggestions, you'll need to consider the possibility that you may be dealing with a duplicate listing. If the hours of operation in your dashboard do not match the hours being shown on the live listing, it could be that Google is pulling those hours from a duplicate Google+ Local listing. To see how to discover duplicate listings, read this article:

Hi WMCA,
Google Places can get this data from other citations. However once you claim control of your Google listing it "should" take in your input. However Google still to this day has issues, especially if you recently moved from Google Local to Google+ Page.
What you should do if you do not see new business hours change within a day:
-
Login to your local dashboard
-
Click on the listing in question
-
Click the Report Problems with this Listing link
-
Fill out the form, and send it off to Google
Hope this helps!

Unsolved Has anyone noticed the Google quote request response rate never changes?
We respond to almost 100% of our quote requests, yet every quote email that comes in from Google shows a 27% response rate and it never changes. Has anyone else seen this or have any insight into it?

How can I change my Google Business to be a non local business?
Hey guys, Do you know how to change my Google business account to be a non local business? I want my Google Knowledge Graph to be clean and neat like this. Does it mean that this company doesn't claim the business? Will removing the address from the Google My Business solve it (which I don't know whether we can take down the address)? Thanks

Can I use the same interior photos for multiple stores in Google My Business?
Hi, The company I work for has many store locations across the country. Getting good/quality interior pictures has become very difficult for us. We recently good a Virtual Tour from Google for one of the locations, and they took some really good pictures. According to Google, the "Photos should represent the actual business" and "Represent the real-world business location". My question is: since our stores are VERY similar in the interior, can we use the same pictures for them while we get more pictures? Would Google penalize this? Thanks!

Rankings on Google local search
Hi, I have been experiencing different rankings while searching with Google local site such as on: google.com.mt > English interface google.com.mt > native language interface but still searching in English. The search phrase is always in English. Also in both occasions the SERPs would contain English listings. There would be no Local/Map listings that affect results order. What is the solution to increase visibility on both English interface and native language interface? Thanks! Conrad

Does anybody have any data on what percentage of people actually click on a Google Places / Google+ listing VS call the business direct from the SERPs?
I've had a few SMB clients who have experienced drops in website traffic once their Google Places listing has gone live. It's hard for the average SMB to understand that this may not be a bad thing because they actually may be received more leads direct from the local SERPs. So while I can try to explain this to my clients, it'd be nice to have some broad data on how searchers interact with Google local listings. I'd love to learn what percentage of people call direct from the SERPs instead of clicking through to the business' website link. Obviously, the percentages would vary across different verticals, different devices & depending on whether the search query was branded or non-branded. I'm after some rough average data, so if anyone could point me in the right direction, that'd be great! 🙂

Hello everyone, If I have pending google places listing, and I added my websites robot.text to block search engines. Will I still get accepted in Google Place? The reason is.
