Is it possible to Merge a Google+ Page with Google Places/local Page on G+

[QGS77]

I have seem to have a problem (well think its a problem!)

We have a google+ page for our website/ brand (which is verified) and also seem to have a separate google places G+ page (the one with just two tabs at the top.. Photos and About).

When you google our brand, google has added a google+ page link but this links to the places one and not our social g+ page.

Is it possible to merge these two pages into one?

ps i have added rel="publisher" directing to the main google+ page (not local) on the home page and the local G+ page is not verified.

Unfortunately you can't merge them you can however shut down one page (rather mark it as a duplicate) Google sometimes will make a page for you and thus the duplicate occurs, there should be a "are you the business owner" button some where where you can claim it then edit or mark it as a duplicate. Worse case you can get in touch with Google explain what page you own and which one is wrong and it can be adjusted ( had it a couple of times)

Google Local is a bit different from your Google+ as well so they do not share many of the same things. I recommend you verify the local page as it can help with local ranking and mean you can edit it in the future etc.

Hope some of that helped.

Thanks for your response.

So in your opinion i am best to delete the G+ page and keep the local page?

Google+  & Google Local are two different things (confusing I know!)

So if you have a Google plus page and a Google local page that's good and normal you have more than that yes I would recommend removing them. Google+ is for social and Google local is to help people find you (locally)

Hope that helps, sorry if its overly confusing.
