Local Seo Help!

Hi everyone,

Google Places is going to be the death of me. I have asked a few questions on this topic before but nothing seems to work.

Here are some of my problems/concerns:

• It keeps deleting my description!? Have you seen this before?

• The "more about this place" section has not been updated since I claimed the listing over 3 months ago. The website it lists at the top of that section is our old website address which no longer works. The site was through a site builder and the company will not forward the domain to the new site.

• Are there any companies or services that can help build a great profile and help increase my rankings? I am starting to think this is over my head.

• Do I delete the page and start over?

Any advice? Please!

FYI: I have added a lot of links between when I signed up for SEOmoz and the linkscape has not be updated in over a month an a half.

I really appreciate your help!

Hi, personally I wouldn't delete the Places page. It does look a little over cooked which might be why the description is being deleted. Try to objectively look at the copy of the description - is it factual or full of keywords? You may need to rewrite it.

There are people out there who can help you - have you tried http://getlisted.org/resources/trustedproviders.aspx ?

Not sure what to do about the sitebuilder. If the relationship is OK, you could ask for them to request the page is removed from the directory via their webmaster tools.

Good luck
