Is there a way to get my company to appear on its own map individually on mobile instead of with other companies?
-
For example: If I type in certain keywords for example like exterminating termites tucson on an apple iphone in google organic ranking it will appear with wildcat exterminating with its own individual map in the organic ranking section. How can my company get something like this?
Thanks.

Hi Nwext,
I want to be sure I understand what you are describing. I believe what you are describing is that only one local business is being shown as a local result for the term you are typing. There is an ongoing issue with this right now. Typically, Google shows 3-7 local results for local-type searches, within the organic results, but right now, there are a bunch of terms for which Google is oddly only showing a single organic result (termed a one box).
I recommend you read the following on this topic to see if it matches what you are experiencing:
http://blumenthals.com/blog/2013/09/28/hummingbird-local-knowledge-graph-shitty-search-results/
This rather lame phenomenon appears to have something to do with the Hummingbird update, and it is definitely not creating a good user experience. Just the other day, I was looking for a hotel in a major city, and Google would only show me a one box. Clearly, this does not represent the diversity of hotels that exist in the city. Not super on Google's part!
If this is not what you are describing and you are simply asking how businesses appear in the local pack of results, then the topic you want to study is Local SEO. It's quite a big subject! If you're just getting started, let me share an article I wrote for beginners: The Rudiments of Local SEO.
Happy reading!

If I am understanding your question correctly, you should be able to create a Google Plus page and fill out the address and verify the location. Google will send you a pin in the mail to verify.
Google plus has incorporated Google local into it...

My client wants to rebrand their company including URL...
Hi all! An easy one for probably most of you. I have a client who wants to re-brand their business name and also match their URL to the new name. Their current domain name URL has been out there for over 5 years, and the site is performing quite well in search. Switching to a new URL will obviously be a very bad thing, but what are the options? newname.com redirect to the aged oldname.com, but when they are on the site, or when they find them in search, the oldname.com has nothing to do with the new brand. Or should we 301 every page of the oldname.com site to the newname.com be good enough? What is recommended? Thanks!

What is Best Way to Scale RCS Content?
SEO has really moved away from the nitty gritty analysis of backlinking factors, link wheels, and the like and has shifted to a more holistic marketing approach. That approach is best described around MOZ as “Real Company S#it”. RCS is a great way to think about what we really do because it is so much more than just SEO or just Social Media. However, our clients and business owners do want to see results and want it quantified in some way. The way most of our clients understand SEO is by ranking high on specific terms or online avenues they have a better possibility of generating traffic/sales/revenue. They understand this more from the light of traditional marketing, where you pay for a TV ad and then measure to see how much revenue that ad generated. In the light of RCS and the need to target a large number of keywords for a given client, how do most PROs handle this situation; where you have a large number of keywords to target but with RCS? Many I’ve asked tend to use the traditional approach of creating a single content piece that is geared towards a given target keyword. However, that approach can get daunting if you have say 25 keywords that a small business wants to target. In this case is not really a case of scaling down the client expectations? What if the client wants all of the keywords and has the budget? Do you just ramp your RCS content creation efforts? It seems that you can do overkill and quickly run out of RCS content to produce.
