Google Places Multiple Phone Numbers

[MBASydney]

Hi Guys,

Looking for a advice on having multiple phone numbers. We have dealers who have both a sales phone number and service phone number for the same address. Is it possible to specify this in Google Places so both numbers are displayed in the SERP GP listing as shown below link?

Or is it possible to even add multiple numbers on the actual GP local page ? http://tinyurl.com/n7r9w3d

Any advice on this?

Seems to be from my initial research, the only way to two numbers is via the description.

Thanks,
Matt

you should have the ability to have a primary number and an alternate number for any location.  I have a listing for over 900 locations, each with their local number listed as primary and our toll-free number listed as the alternate.

I would recommend having a local number as the primary considering people are typically engaging with you to locate your business on Google+ Local (Google Places) and are more apt to call a local number versus a toll free number that may go to a call center.

Hope this helps!

Hi Marketz,

I've not yet had a chance to play with the new Google My Business phone number, but I would expect it would have a place to list an alternate phone number. I wouldn't suggest putting it in your description. If you still have the old Google and Your Business dashboard for the Google+ Local page, there should be a place for an alternate phone number, I believe.

Hi Brad,

Thnaks for that.

Do you fine that only one number is displayed though on the SERP results? I.e. are both your tool free and local number displayed or just the local number.

now that you mention it, it appears that only the primary number is shown on both Google Maps (newest version) and on the Google + Local business profile page.

guess we can only effectively use one now!
