Facebook's Address Change Request

[Kingalan1]

Our Facebook business page is: www.facebook.com/MetroManhattanOfficeSpace/. Facebook suggests we change it from:

347 5th Ave, # 1008
New York, NY 10016

To:

347 5th Ave
New York, NY 10016

Google Places shows our address as: 347 5th Ave #1008, New York, NY 10016

The Facebook change deletes the Suite number and eliminates the comma after "NY". I am concerned how this will effect address consistency and local ranking. Shouldn't the Facebook address match our Google Places address precisely? Isn't it critical that our address format and info appear exactly the same everywhere?

Will complying with the requested Facebook address change have a negative impact on local SEO?

Thanks, Alan Rosinsky

Hi there.

Yes, having the same NAP info is quite important, so, I wouldn't remove suite number, especially since it's your actual proper address. Maybe there is some type of guide from Facebook (I couldn't find it) on formatting of the address. But, to me it's like this - if it makes sense to user, it will make sense to search engines (google specifically).

Hope this helps.
