Verification problem with Google Local + Listing

[cvissi]

Our company has more than 250+ clients, so I need to open around 250 Gmail account for Google Local + (old Google Places), so for around 250 gmail account I need to verify 250 times the mails with phone. I wanted to know, can I open Google Places with a clients domain mail, example: places@client-domain.com instead of client@gmail.com

Cvissi,

Couple things:
#1 If this is one client with 250 locations, then it's a best practice to create a places@client-domain.com email address and then use the Bulk Upload feature from within Google Places for Business.

#2 If it is actually 250 individual clients with 1 location each, you should create a unique account along the lines of places@client-domain.com for each one of those locations.

You should never use an agency email address to claim client locations.

Does that make sense?

Thanks for the answer David, I didn't expect to get an answer from you. Everything that I know in SEO I have learned from you and the SEO Moz team, so I feel really excited that you replied.

In order to claim Google Local+ I need to have a Google+ profile. I wanted to know if I could create the 250 places for each client with their emails (places@client-domain.com) and then claim all the 250 Google Local+ of the different companies, and manage them all from one Google+ account.

The idea is like on facebook, where you can manage a bunch of pages with one account.

P.S. If this is possible, can I afterwards authorize the client to manage their own Google Local+, in case they don't want to extend the contract with our agency?
