Connecting a Google Places & Google+ Account?

[AAttias]

Does anybody know how to connect Google Places to Google+?

When my company name is searched in Google, the Google+ page appears on the right hand side like it should. However, under the meta description of the first search result there a link saying 'Google+ page' which links to a Google Places Local account.

Does anyone know how this can be sorted?

Hi Brian,

What you are seeing with the link reading 'Google+ page' linking to a Google+ Local page is typical, actually, but if you want more information about the process of merging a social page with a local page, let me link you to a Google and Your Business Forum Top Contributor's good explanation of this:

Does this help?

Hi Miriam,

Thanks for your response.

I didn't know it was typical. Someone told me that we had a duplicate Google+ page and I was trying desperately to remove it and couldn't find a way. But if it's normal, I will just leave it.

Thanks
