Would anyone be so kind to tell me step by step how to get up on the local business listing (Google)
  • I have filled in all information, photos and a coupon
  • Different accounts have the keywords as the business title (also the business name)
  • I have submitted the sites to many directories that I see other sites in the first 5 listed on

I'm stumped after that.

Thanks

    Did you confirm the listing.

    This is usually done by entering the code google sends you either by post or by sms or by calling you.

    yes, the listings are live and were on the first page for months, now they are on page 2 and 3.

    Hi
    I'm no expert but you say that "different accounts have the keywords as the business title" I think that Googles TCs state that only the Business Name should be used in the title and only one listing per physical address.
    Could that be why your listing has been demoted?
    Just a thought.

      Hey Deejay

      We have 3 premises in our city and they are at the different addresses.

      Its very strange to say the least

    Where did you read this? I See many listings with keywords only in the title...

      You can create local business listing many time but you should confirm and verify your address otherwise anyone can edit and delete the listing.

        deejay is correct about the title name, but in this case our business name is the keyword term.

        Anyone care to have a little look at it for me please?

          Thanks to those who had a look and for trying to figure it out, but no reasoning why I'm not on top.

          hmmmm any seo experts want a challenge
