Google + and Google Knoladge Graph

Hi Chris,

I accepted the other page and now have 2.

Both pages are verified local, is there a way to merge the two of them?

Thanks

David

If you've got two local pages it gets a bit more complicated, you can mark one (the new one i assume) as duplicated which should mean its deleted,  I was under the impression you had a brand page and were attempting to claim a local page, you can see some more info on an older post here - https://moz.com/community/q/can-a-google-local-listing-be-merged-with-a-goolge-page

You can also see more information here - https://support.google.com/business/answer/6010825?hl=en This should enable you to set your primary page.

Hope some of that helps.

Hey Chris,

So yesterday started a chat with Ad words in Dublin (who couldn't be more helpful) the woman Arlene gave me link to email Google in CA so i did expecting a phone call from them in CA but instead just off the phone with someone from a call center ion India who didn't have a clue. He didn't understand the fact i have 2 local pages, one showing in search knowledge graph (no content just contact info which i a page they created because there silly algorithm is terrible) and the other (one we have used, verified, mapped etc.. for over a year) he didn't under stand the fact if i delete the one we have used for over a year then we loose the content. And if i delete the other one i loose the search stuff. his solution was just to delete one. God knows who trains these people as this must happen daily with them creating pages randomly because there algorithm feels like it

You can also try Miriam who is a bit of a local guru: https://moz.com/about/team/miriamellis for ideas. Sorry to hear you didn't have much luck with your call..

Hi David,

This is one of those questions that it is really difficult to resolve in an informal forum. These types of things can require logging into dashboards, doing a lot of research etc. Now, you've already taken the direct route of trying to show this to Google. I recommend 2 things:

1. If you don't see the issue resolve within 2 weeks of speaking to Google reps, call them again.

2. If that doesn't work, take this to the Google help forum (https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/business), be prepared to share all information and make a serious plea for a TC or staffer to assist you there.

3. If neither of these methods work, hire a heavy hitting SEO as a consultant. He/she may need to dig deep, given the fact that Google pulls data from a variety of sources, meaning that there can be so many variables in a case like this.
