Troulbe with finding goole place local page

[Jacog]

Once you create your Google Local page ( via maps.Google.com) and create your business listing, you must wait for verification via digits sent on a postcard. Once you receive the verification code you can enter them - but where?

I went to https://www.google.com/local/verify ( and am logged in as a client in their gmail account) but it can't find any pending listings to verify.

Entering the phone number shows no previous data entered, and i must start all over again entering the client data.

And there is no way i know of to find that listing and all the data entered to manage and verify it.

Naturally this is very frustrating because i've done this before dozens of times and never had this problem.

Reading the Google documents is a waste of circular reasoning on me.

any suggestions?

Hi Jaco,

It sounds to me like you may be dealing with duplicate listings, if there is no place to enter the postcard code you received. If you do a phone number lookup at maps.google.com, to do you see more than one entry for the business in question? Look up any previous phone numbers you know of, too, and you can also look up the exact address and see what comes up.

If you can't figure this out, I highly recommend that you do start at thread at the Google and Your Business Forum (http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/business) where you can get direct technical help from a Google employee or TC on this. They may well recommend that you start a troubleshooter ticket. Sounds to me like you may have run into either a complex problem with duplicates...though there is a slight chance you've encountered a bug. Google's staff and volunteers will have the ability to verify this by looking under the hood, if you can get a response to your thread.
