Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Howdy! We now have local rank tracking. Check out our blog post at http://moz.com/blog/local-rankings-in-moz-analytics for all the cool details.

Hi Arthur, I'm glad my response was helpful and - ouch - I hear you on the merging headache! Don't forget, help has improved in the Google Places Help Forum, which is actually moving to a new location. In case you don't have the new link, here it is: http://groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/forum/#!forum/maps You may already have tried this, but if you haven't, the Top Contributors there or even Vanessa Schneider of Google might be able to manually help you with troubleshooting the merging issue. Note - I say 'might' because merging issues are really hard to remedy and you can get them fixed only to have them come back again. Here's some good news. There is a chance that with the recent Venice update in Local, your organic rankings may be becoming even more powerful.

I do Local SEO, but I confess, I don't take on merges because they are such a pain in the neck. If you get into a position where you need help, you may be able to hire a Local SEO who specializes in dupes and merging. Just a thought. Cheers! Miriam

Hi Arthur, Sorry for the long delay in a response. This is odd. I'm seeing just two (seemingly) random pages indexed in Bing. I highly suggest verifying your site in Bing's webmaster tools, as they have a a great webmaster tools dashboard as well, and can tell you if they're finding any problems.

This seems like some good info on hgroup http://html5doctor.com/the-hgroup-element/
