Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Web Biz Ideas, This issue has been around for some time, and honestly, there is more speculation on this than a totally clear guideline. I highly recommend that you read this thread from the Local Search Forum in its entirety, including the last comment from Google MapMaker RER, Andrew Sawyer. Rather than re-capping all of this here, I think you should read the whole thing: http://localsearchforum.catalystemarketing.com/google-local-citations/1605-suite-vs-ste-vs-your-citation-addresses-2.html Sincerely hope this helps!

Hello Jeff, Thank you for writing in!  Hope you enjoyed your Christmas break to the max!  That is definitely a good question, the current method which OSE indexes sites are based on the accessibility of the site, unfortunately social media sites our Roger just have a hard time digesting and feeling out.  Which lead to us setting up social tracking for FB and twitter in our campaign metrics and followerwonk. We are hoping in the future as we give Roger some upgrades (rocket launcher included), he may be able to crawl more sites!  or perhaps through some form of Google+ integration in our web tool. If I may trouble you to go to our feature request forum: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/categories/6327-known-issues-feature-requests, this is a good idea If you mind us getting to know it more. Thanks again for reaching out to us! Best, Peter Moz Help Team.

Hi WebBizIdeas, It seems this is a known issue with your shopping cart software. This thread should help answer your question http://forum.cs-cart.com/topic/12883-problem-with-the-seo-addon/page__st__20 Hope that helps, Sha

When you say major sites, are you talking yelp, citysearch, etc.? With those there is no problem with getting reviews on a Dr. Name. On Google, you will even see XYZ Clinic, Dr. Smith, XYZ clinic Dr. Jones, etc. so the clinic ends up with multiple places listings by also listing the docs. Check out optometrists Houston 77006. There is a clinic called Eye Excellence and they have a site local listing with three individual optometrists listed as Eye Excellence - Dr. A, Eye Excellence Dr. B, and Eye Excellence Dr. C. Two of these even have the same phone number and all display the same photos, etc. If there are other review sites that you are speaking of, let me know.

I would say space them out at 5-10 a week. Each one will need time for approval/indexing so you should be fine. Check out this comprehsive list of site you can get listed on as well. http://searchnewscentral.com/20111026198/General-SEO/the-ultimate-list-of-local-citation-sites.html
