Has anyone had problems with thier google maps page after the google plus intergration?

[JohnParker2792]

About a month ago Google contacted one of my clients to inform them that the Google places is discontinued and their Google plus page will be the new Google places. They gave my client an $100 adwards credit for adwords express so their location will still show up for their business name during the change from Google places to Google plus..

When you type in the business in a local area or on a GPS now.. It is no where to be found. You have to know the address to get directions or go there on a mobile devices.

The Google plus page for all of these locations is not currently showing up either.

I have contacted Google and Once again something has been released without implementing it correctly. No one seems to know what is going on... after talking to three people.

Does anybody know what is going on ???? This is a huge deal when being a local company.

Hey John, unfortunately, we could flip this question on it's head and ask, has anyone not had problems with the Google places Google Plus changes, in the UK at least.

The thing I am seeing though is that it seems to be settling down a bit and the duplicate google+ page that was created after our Google places page got shut down (and we already had a Google+ page) has been merged with my brand page so... it seems to be getting better.

Can you give an example? The business name or some such? Local is not my big area but happy to take a look and see if anything jumps out at me from the ones I have dealt with so far.

I have sent you a private message with the details... Thanks for the reply!

Yeah, I think in the last month there have been tons of problems going on with Google Local pages.  
Previously people had just been creating + pages for their companies and now with the Places page turning into + pages, a lot of companies now have multiple + pages showing up on their website.  This is hurting both Google+ and the new local pages.
I've seen this happen a lot in the last month and have had to work with a few clients as well on the issue.   Hopefully in the next month or so, these issues will be addressed.

Hi John,

I wonder if you will find your issue described in Mike Blumenthal's latest post:

There has been considerable fallout from the changeover to Google+ Local. Perhaps you will see your situation described in the above.
