Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Again OCsearch, If they've got just one office, then yes, having one Place Page would be an accurate representation of the business. I sympathize with how inadequate a solution this is for clients with business models like your client's. The alternative to this is for the business to change the way it thinks about its employees and assign one in each district as a sub-branch of the business. Let me explain this a little more thoroughly: Let's say the business is located in San Francisco. They create and claim a Place Page for their home office. Then, let's also say that the business sends out truckers from Los Angeles, San Jose, Sacramento and San Diego. Let's say that the business is willing to create a new position for one employee in each of those cities - let's call him the city manager. The city manager's duties involve overseeing the job assignments for each of the truckers in his city. And, his home address is now viewed as a local office for the main company. He is given a unique local area code phone number and mail relating to operations in his city is now to be directed to his home instead of the company headquarters in San Francisco. If this were the business model, then I think it would be conceivable for each city manager to have his own Place Page for his sub-branch of the company. It's a big workaround, but not an impossible one. Barring this, then, yes...one Place Page for the main office and the rest of your work will have to be organic. And, the client should understand that he should not expect to outrank businesses with physical addresses in other cities. Does this explanation help? I hope so! Miriam

It will be labor intense. I suggest starting by claiming all listings in one place under one new login. Try to claim by postcard to be more legit. Otherwise you may just have to get reconsidered by going to the google places forum. Also another strategy is try a suite # if you can't get or register the main addy.
