Issues claiming businesses via Google+ places?

[Nola504]

Is anyone else dealing with issues claiming a business location on Google places?

After already going through the process of claiming our business locations and verifying ownership. It seems that we have to do it again for google+ places.

I don't want to create a duplicate of the business, and i'm not sure If I should delete it from my places account, before trying to claim it again on google places.

Have you dealt with this issue, or is it new to you as well?

You should not have to claim again.

Have you already contacted google support?  It takes for ever to get resolution to issues however once you have a trouble ticket started you will typically be able to email directly.

Hey Nathan,

I have submitted the little form via google places ... however.

The main reason I had to claim again was because my location got hi-jacked by some other jerk. Which I didn't think was possible. I've had this location owned and verified for years, but not until google+ went hyper local places on me did the change occur. See Links...

So in trying to claim my listings again, I've gotten the verification pin in the mail, added it, but still no confirmation that I own the location

I think Google Places is slow because on the transition to Google+ Places, I'm having issues with the reviews don't show sometimes, wrong information listed, mixed information from another listed.  Give them some time about 3 or 4 weeks if not then contact google support.

Thanks for your response Rafael,

I assumed as much.

I'll try to wait it out. If I directly loose dollars, can I send google a bill?

Or should I shut up and be happy Google doesn't send me one for all their free services?

Peace

Lol let me know so I can send Google a bill too.

I was out of Google Places for about 2 or 3 months, then I show up with another company address and phone number and etc. A lot of issues.

4 months after I'm start getting ranking again, but now the reviews appear and disappears from time to time.  Customers can't leave me reviews at this time.

I hope it works faster for you... Good luck!

Hi Cyril,

Owner verification checkmarks have not been transferred to the new Google+ Local pages. I recommend reading this Google And Your Business Forum thread on this topic:

I think that will really clear this mystery up for you!
