I too have been trying to determine why the hotel that I listed – TownePlace Suites – has been a towneplace suites. I may have to separate the words.

I am so glad I found your blog!

But, money is a very close second place.

Still a few oddities left in the LBC I suppose….

@Joan
Yes it does seem that some All CAPs are getting approved…certainly punctuation in the title, mixed titles, weird characters are a problem…Google seems to indicate “excessive capitalization” is an issue but…..

@Jim
Glad to be of help

@Miriam
It is weird thats for sure, frustrating….Google error checking and feedback on the fields has always been weak…

@MikeR
Glad you have enjoyed my past few titles but this title idea can be credited to Cathy R. I have some great titles on the way, just not the time to write them. If only someone would pay me for this…:(

Great post and wow you have had a couple catchy titles the past couple days. I am excited to see what will come next.

I had noticed things like this before and assumed it was a mistake on the business owner’s part. What do you know…it’s Google’s fault! It certainly does make an unprofessional presentation of the business name, having incorrect capitalization.

It’s understandable that a user doing a keyword search might well see a business listed in all lower case and devalue it or dismiss it entirely.

Seems there should be a way for legit businesses with independent, trusted citations to have their names displayed properly.
