Google Places - No Real Address

Can you tell me how to contact someone at Google to receive help? I've had a UPS address for 4 years because I service people at their locations. I have the boxes checked correctly in my places, but was removed after Google called to verify my location. It was clear that they were looking at my address via satellite.

Thanks!!

There is no phone number that I know of. I'm sure they weren't looking at your address via satellite either...I think they are too busy. What happened to your listing? Was it there and now it's gone?

Here is the link to a Google places forum. http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/business


Google employees do not monitor it, but I think there may be a few people from Google (maybe present, maybe past) who do help people out if I'm not mistaken...I haven't used it in a while. If you follow the instructions on the forum and fill out a request someone will help you.


If you had a listing and it is no longer working, or if it says something like "pending" when you log in to G+ Places, there isn't much you can do. Sometimes their system just sucks. But...there are a few things you can try.


You can fill out a request for a new PIN and maybe when you verify it again it will work. Also, you can try making some changes and then clicking "Update". Some people believe that if you update something it sends a "fresh signal" to Google and that may help.


I don't know. I've had some issues that were resolved by getting a new PIN, and I have one client who has been listed as "pending review" for 8 months. Since that client doesn't give 2 shits, I have not done anything to get the listing fixed, but I know that on its own it won't happen.


Yea though....there isn't a number. Just by the sheer size of that forum I gave you, you'll see that Google + Places is a pretty big hassle for MANY people, so they would be on the phone all day fixing stuff, and helping people really isn't Google's mission if you ask me.


Good luck
 
There are ways for you to be able to create a google places page without using a real address. Any address closest to the city center you preferred to market, you can use that as long as you able to verify the listing. New listing setup are always Post Card Verification, But there are tricks of how you be able to get them ranking and not taken don by google.

What is the latest strategy for adding a business to Google Places that doesn't have a business address?

I don't want to use the person's home address.

I'm referring to plumbers, accountants, masons, etc. People who have real businesses but don't have an office or storefront.

Is Google still allowing a UPS Mailbox??? (UPS Mailboxes have a real street address)

Google Places experts please advice. Thanks!
 
I am in home repair business. So i've chosen:
[Yes, this business serves customers at their locations] and
[Do not show my business address on my Maps listing]

So now my address shows as City, State, Zip - let say Miami, Florida, 33125
But when building the citations i should use full address right?
 
Well, when you build a listing use a virtual address.
when you build citations you will use that virtual address too, some sites dont have option to hide it but that is ok.
as long as you hide your address in your GPL.

btw, i dont have enough posts to reply pm.

Does it matter how i define the serving area?
There are 2 ways:
[a] x miles from let say Miami, Florida, 33125. Default is 20 miles that's what i entered
zip codes

Do [a] and perform pretty mush the same? Anybody did any split tests?
 
I've always had success going with option A.

Yes Optino A is better, i agree with you.

Many think that the system is not working, but to be honest its still working..
but there are new things to consider, and new ways how you will able to get it working below googles radar.

I actually considering... NAP Bully. (involves gathering competitors info to be used on the process)

PM me if you need help with this. I've got listings up across the country without being at a UPS Store. In fact, I use addresses nobody else uses so it will never be a problem. I can verify accounts by phone too so I can use any address, LOL.

Message me if you need help with your listings.

I cant message yet, can you tell me how to setup google places without addresses...Thanks
 
Well from what I've heard there's 3 ways to go about it:

1.Simply don't confirm for google places, oftentimes you can still rank without it

2.Just come up with a fake address such as if the street number ends at 10, use 11. Probably not a good idea.

3.Type in "virtual office + city" and get a mailing address for a small fee per month.
 
I wouldn't use a UPS box they can see it from street view but there still is a way
 
I don't think he asked for a service to do so, so stop spamming your crap

I can do it. Any business in any city guaranteed in about 3-5 days. PM me if interested. I charge per set up and monthly maintenance fee to keep this "sketchy" listing live.

I only have a few spots left as we can only do about 5 per day. I am looking for 2 or 3 people that need multiple listings done. Serious inquiries only. Or a least those who know they can seriously profit from this.
 
if anyone needs a listing then send me a pm,anywhere in the USA
 
If you need google maps with now real address send me a PM. I can verify any business, any location. 30 day guarantee.
