Local Search Question re Bulk Upload Feed

[CeeC-Blogger]

What option is best for a Bulk Upload Feed?

A. Should this be done in the same Google account where we run our Adwords campaign or

B. Should we use our Google account that has the Google Webmaster access?

Thank you

Hi Patrick, it depends on what you are uploading and why (local listings for verification, keywords to be adding to an AdWords group, new product listings, etc.) I know you posted this question in Local Strategy, but I want to make sure I know what your objective is (vs. assuming) as you mentioned your Adwords campaign. Would you mind providing us with some more details so we can help? Thanks!

Thanks for your response Christy.

The objective for the upload is two fold:

1. To get visibility and traffic from the local listings

2. To be able to use local extensions in PPC

Alright! I just pinged a colleague who specializes in AdWords about your question. You should hear from her shortly. Thanks for your patience, Patrick. Cheers!

I can chime in about how to get bulk uploads going to Google Places:

GPlaces does have a tool for this:

Just use the same Google account you use for AdWords.

Keep in mind that you'll still have to verify them via snail mail post cards so this process may take some time.

But as they come in and get verified in your Adwords/Places account then you should be able to use them in ads.

Good luck!
