Google Places and Name Change

[seoessentials]

Hello - I have a client who is a realtor and changed agencies. I edited their Google Places entry and the new name of their agency and address are showing - but so is their old listing. The agency they left is now trying to sue them for showing up in a number one position with Google Places under their agency name.

Is this an indexing issue with Google? Their name shows up under both agency names. The corrected one shows most often, but the old one is still popping up on occasion.

Thanks,

Usually when you update a Google place Page it might take several weeks to be deleted permantely.and get update with one listing across the web

Pamela - I'd also make a recommendation to use http://www.whitespark.ca/local-citation-finder/ to help identify some good sources AND definitely make sure all the information is up to date on old listings in the local results for your client. Google Places relies on these citations to do the rankings, so you can seriously help them by being on top of those listings

Thank you everybody. I will give whitespark a shot.
