Google Places - Co Working Spaces
-
Hello,
Hope this hasn't been answered but no combination of searches could turn it up.
What is the impact for those using a co working space such as http://www.thenetworkhub.ca/ in regards to Google Places and local searches?
Assumedly there will be multiple 'businesses' using the same address including suite number. Does this cause issue with Google understanding that these are truly legit 'offices' and work address for honest to goodness businesses?
Suppose part of the challenge may be those using this address for just mail and answering...
Guess my point is, will 20-40 people using the same address for their places profile be a problem?
What alternatives exist for these folks?
Thanks y'all!

Thanks for the update Kye. It's always interesting to find out how these things turn out. I hope it's worked out well for your client.

In the end we found a unique address. The client decided it wasn't worth the risk of complication with the co working space versus using another commercial address that only he uses.
He is legitimately using this address for his business exactly how he would have used the co working space so it is onside. Just happened to be a space available that the owner of will likely never use the address online.
Sadly though that leaves us still wondering what the impact of the co working space address will cause.

Hi! We're going through some of the older unanswered questions and seeing if people still have questions or if they've gone ahead and implemented something and have any lessons to share with us. Can you give an update, or mark your question as answered?
Thanks!

Good point. As long they all use their own cell number and not the actual number of the co working space (which does offer answering services to create perception of a receptionist) they should be in a stronger position.
-
You should be OK as long as each business has a unique phone number.
As RichardGetz said above, also make sure your citations match up across sites - always a best practice, but in this case you really need to be as clear as possible.
-
Sorry, I missed that point. Hmm, that might look a bit doggy. However, if the address on your site is clear, and all other citations are the same (Superpages.com, yelp.com, insiderpages.com etc.), and no one else using that suite # is spammy, then I don' t see a huge problem.
-
Even though they all share the same suite #. I should have been more clear about that.

Nope, Google will understand that this is an office building.

Google News Publisher Benefit?
I'm curious about the benefit of verifying your website in the Google News Publisher Center. Right now my website isn't showing up under "My Sites," and it recommends I submit the site to be reviewed for inclusion. However, when I go to news.google.com and search for news topics we cover, our site does show up sometimes. Will verifying the website in the Google News Publisher Center help to include it in News results more frequently? One thought I had is that perhaps Google will start to ONLY include sites in Google News that the webmaster has verified here. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Ranking Differences for Google+ Local vs. Places Listings
I'm seeing some odd behavior with Google+ Local and Google Places listings for clients. I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing it... Here's the situation: We've recently bought on 4 new clients that all have duplicate listing issues, and, weirdly, all have both places and a Google+ local created listings. For three of those four, the Google+ local listing is outranking the Places account for a brand name search (e.g. Dr. John Doe). Weirdly, in one instance, the Google+ local account that is outranking the Places page is named in a less accurate fashion. e.g searching for "Dr. John Doe" the rankings look like this... A) John Doe Plastic Surgery, P.C. - Dr. John Doe B) Dr. John Doe, MD Anyone else seeing this sort of behavior? How are you creating local listings for clients these days - via the places dashboard, or Google+ Local?

Google Places Listing
Hi, I have the following issue. I'm doing marketing for a restaurant. There used to be 2 restaurants under the same owner, but they ended up splitting. Now these two locations are completely different owners. The issue is that the google places listing is currently pointing to the same website. How can I change the website address of this listing without having access to the email that was used to create it? Thanks

Google Places: Multiple Entries
Hi there I'm doing some SEO for a restaurant/bar/night club. Now I'm wondering whether I should create multiple entries on Google Places or one for all. I had in mind: one for the bar/night club and one for the restaurant, as the target audiences for those can be rather different. We have only one address (and one website), but several phone numbers, so it would be possible to have several entries. What's your opinion: One or several entries?

Will linking to my citation sources help google recognize them / credit my places account?
Or does google treat this behavior the same way as a reciprocal link and discount any credibility of the citation?
