Google+ Business Page Location Problem

[BardolLawFirm]

I run a business in the St. Louis area. Oddly, St. Louis is broken up into more than 100 municipalities.  Google keeps listing my plus page by the small municipality I am in within St. Louis, which limits my ability to show up in the St. Louis local search results.  However, other businesses in town are being listed under St. Louis instead of their municipality.

Any ideas on how to change this? When I go in and try to change it myself, it just stays the same.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Mmm, problems like this can be really baffling. What I believe I'd try to do in your shoes would be to attempt to edit the data via Google MapMaker (http://www.google.com/mapmaker?tab=MM). I would then go to the Google MapMaker Forum (http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/map-maker) and request than an RER (regional expert reviewer) review your edit requests in that category of the forum. If you can get an RER to respond, they sometimes have the ability to make quite speedy edits and also have direct contact with Google staff.

Can't promise this would work, but it's probably your best bet for seeking resolution. Be prepared to fully disclose all information about your listing as well as providing examples of neighboring businesses that are being given the St. Louis designation so that you are making a good case a clearly describing your issue.

Hope this helps!

Based on my interaction with Google map maker forum moderators, IF you run a SAB (service area business) you should do your edits ONLY in your Places claimed listing.

Can you provide more information about it?
