      I have just started working on this website www.wallybuysell.com  and I am wanting to get some feedback on how to fix a problem I have encountered.  When I search for my business on Google maps there are 2 listings there.  One lists the wrong website and the other one I can make changes too.  Also when I search for the business in google local there is another page.  Here are the pages:

      https://plus.google.com/108578438913962655516/about?gl=ca&hl=en   I can edit this one.

      https://plus.google.com/114506363488296249715/about?gl=ca&hl=en  This one I can not edit but seems to use pictures in my Google places listing.

      https://plus.google.com/u/0/104789849006671458564/about   This listing is asking me to send verification code.

      How do I fix this ?  How is this happening?

      Would love some help on this one.

        Go through the process of claiming the second and third listings and once you've claimed and verified them and they're in your google places dashboard, you should be able to delete them.

          Hi Christopher,

          Google stated in February of this year that they plan to make duplicate listing management easier in future, showing all versions of a listing in the dashboard and asking if they are all of the same business, but this has yet to materialize unfortunately. It can't happen soon enough, in my opinion!

          Right now, one way to deal with this is to go to the duplicate Google+ Local pages in question and click the 'report a problem' link on the right hand side and go through the troubleshooter. You will find a radio button for 'Place is a duplicate of another place'. That would be the one to choose.

          I would try that first and give it a few weeks to see if your request for removal works. If not, the second thing I would do is go to the My Listing Has Incorrect Information Troubleshooter:

          http://support.google.com/places/bin/static.py?hl=en&ts=1386120&page=ts.cs

          Again, select the radio button that refers to duplicates and walk through the wizard. It will ask you if you already tried reporting through the 'Report A Problem' link. This troubleshooter may actually lead you to a phone call, if you are lucky.

          Be prepared for this process to take time, Christopher, and keep crossing your fingers that Google will eventually implement easier dashboard management for this incredibly common issue.

          • On our site by mistake some wrong links were entered and google crawled them. We have fixed those links. But they still show up in Not Found Errors. Should we just mark them as fixed? Or what is the best way to deal with them?
