Google Places?

My website is now up and running, so I have registered on Google Places so I will at least show up in the map the comes up when you Google 'tree work' in my area.

 

The thing is, my entry doesn't show up on the map at all (it said it would take up to 24 hrs, this has been over a week).

 

When I log into my Google account, it all appears in there ok, all details correct, says my status on maps/places is active, has the little pink pin on my street etc., but going through Google search I have disappeared.

 

I'm baffled!

i had trouble with this when i moved house and changed name.

 

 

be patient it can take up to six weeks. I spoke to someone online in the google forum. if you mess about with it to much google will shut it down.

 

MAPS: Make sure you have a business address on your new website, google will match this to your google places site. Priority goes to people that advertise in thomson local, secondly ltd co in thomson local. Also get people to give you reviews on google places this helps. Get links to your website ie arbtalk signature, yell.com.

 

Build your profile, business photos, logo, voucher. this shows google you are taking a active interest in your mini site.

 

Oxleas Tree Care - Google Maps

 

also register your new site with google.co.uk, this also takes six weeks.

 

Hope that helps

I have an account of google places and it works fine. The trouble i have is when i put google maps on my website to show where i am goole shows me 30 miles away from where i actually am!!! :confused1:

 

If you log onto your google places account you can actually manually alter where you are located I had to do this although it was only about 500 yards off!
