Google+

[PremioOscar]

Hello everyone,

just a quick question about Google+; I had already a Google+ business page and I tried to link it with Google Places but instead of doing so, it created another page.

So now I have two Google+ pages, one all set up with all the circles, images and everything else, plus another one (the new one) with nothing but the link to Google Places.

Is there any chance to merge them both?

Cheers

I believe I heard of something called Google Takeout which lets you download your personal data from Google. The same method might be useful for downloading the page information and then importing it back into Google+

I also found this, which appears to show how Google Local can be used, as there were some noted issues with Google Places.

Overall, I have found Google to be difficult in this nature, especially in terms of preserving data and making it accessible, and Google+ in my opinion should still be in beta, as there are many new features which could still be added to it, regardless of the huge userbase, as most of those are automatically created accounts when people sign up to gmail or YouTube.
