      About 3 weeks ago google created a duplicate listing for our law firm on google maps.

      In building links I have tried very hard to ensure that our address and company name was always listed identically.

      Our correct firm name and address is

      Feldman Feldman & Associates, PC 2221 Camino Del Rio South, Suite 201

      inevitably somehow the new listing stated Camino Del Rio S, Ste 201

      All of our reviews moved over to this new profile, I claimed it, changed it to make it the same reported it to Google. Google merged them.

      Now Google has created another profile this time the firm name and address matches ours exactly (South and Suite both spelled out), but all of the reviews have moved over except for the most recent one(s).

      I have claimed it again and reported it to google, changed the address. Google then created another listing.

      Our page rank for keywords has been hurt by this. any idea why this keeps happening suggestions?

      Here are the two pages. This is our original listing

      http://maps.google.com/maps/place?hl=en&cid=468564492130231259

      This is the new one google self created that stole all our reviews, but is ranked very poorly for the keyword searches.

        Your two listings:

        Feldman Feldman & Associates PC

        12 reviews<a></a> 2221 Camino Del Rio South, Suite 201 San Diego, CA 92108-3609(619) 299-9600Other: Feldman Feldman & Associates PC    2 reviews<a></a>2221 Camino Del Rio South, Suite 201San Diego, CA 92108(619) 299-9600immigrateme.com‎
        The only difference I see is the zip code "92108-3609"Not looking good.  The best suggestion I have is try again. Click on the more link on the profile page, report a problem, and select "Place has another listing." then include a link to both profiles. Luckily your reviews will probably not "get lost" as they are not on Google's site, otherwise you might lose those.The only other reason, beyond the conflicting zip code, could be that there is another account that had claimed it prior. Word of caution, don't move too quickly or too anxiously with Google places. They scare easy.

        If you want to read the long answer:

        http://www.searchenginepeople.com/blog/why-google-local-listings-merge-and-how-to-unmerge-listings.htmlAdditional thoughts -
        It looks like both listings were edited about 11 hours ago.(edit log: Changed 11 hours ago - Phone

        | Added: | 619-299-9600 |

        )And on May 3rd two different moderators made changeshttp://maps.google.com/maps/user?uid=217460202084778845705and http://maps.google.com/maps/user?uid=216814767163749414179I would suggest that you leave the one which you have to access alone and work to merge the one you don't have access to. Don't submit tickets for both at the same time.
