Google places listing removed

Posted by Stuart @ Eco Garden Maintenance on March 6, 2013 at 5:38pm in Marketing

I have discovered that my google places listing has been removed because "the location is no longer supported". This is a real pain as reading the google forums it is very hard if not impossible to get it reinstated. I presume i violated the terms and conditions in some way.

Google places is very important as it is often the first search result that comes up after the paid for ads. My website still comes up on page 1 for some search terms but this discovery is not very good for my business. There are thousands of other business' in the same boat from what i can gather.

Anyway, i decided to delete the listings and open up a google+ business account which when verified (fingers crossed) will do the same thing as places. When i searched for "gardener Tadcaster" the google results came up as google+ pages anyway! I presume google places is slowly being replaced by google+?

Will have to wait and see what happens - wont be quick as PIN has to come by post and then wait for it to be verified. Could take weeks.

Check your google places listing if you have one.
