I have the plusbox on my company’s website search engine result. The address isn’t listed one any page within my website, but it is listed in Google Places and other directories. The address they are displaying isn’t correct, we have moved since. Maybe this will be a good test to see what I need to change for it to reflect properly on the website.

The places merry go round is getting pretty irksome with change being the only constant as you say. I have spent a lot of effort and time attempting to get Google to notice my locations, but what happens if you have more than one location.

The site I am attempting to rank in the Google Places results has three locations and so three different geo tagging locations. Will this confuse poor Google? am I better offer going for one location on the main site to one Place page. Then associating the other Places pages to locations on satellite sites or something.

The problem then is for the poor old site visitors who want to find each location, which, by the way are very close to each other – within two miles or less.

Any suggestions gratefully recieved

+ boxes are a stroll down memory lane in conjunction with problems at Google Places. You gave an excellent review of ways to reference location within the site. Let me add ones that adversely affected sites in the past with erroneous address information showing via + boxes.

Clean your site of references to old addresses. Specifically larger institutions, hospitals, schools, places with nearby multiple addresses, businesses or institutions that lease/buy in multiple properties within a region.

In the past there were Google Maps/Google Places/+box errors showing for addresses when Google replaced current information with obscure older information buried on larger websites representing bigger websites with many pages for a larger institution.

I’d go through the whole danged websites and purge any old address information. We found some very obscure address information in the past that was crazily the source for erroneous +box addresses despite more obvious clear signals.

+Boxes that is a trip down Places Purgatory:

1)It has always been a crap shoot whether it shows and how to get it… needs to be more transparent

2)It isn’t clear how it performs next to pinned results.

3)Do we need one more UI convention? Christ, google, pick one, make it simple and stick with it!
