          I have a website with individual Location Landing Pages for each of my Depots.  I also have individual Google Local Business Listings for each of my depots.

          Should I have a link from my Website Location Landing Pages to the associated Google local Business listings or not ?... Given that I already have a link on my Google Business listing to the relevant Location Page on my website.

          I wasn't sure whether linking both ways would be more beneficial thus enforcing things better or whether it's not needed to link both ways .

          thanks

          Pete

            That's what I was thinking.

            Will do.

            thanks again,

              Hi Pete,

              yes, you should link both ways.

              1.) From your Google Business / Local Profile to your homepage or if you have more than one location on your site, to the corresponding local subpage

              2.) on the homepage or local subpage put a link to your google Profile. use the publisher tag when linking e.g.

              [](https://plus.google.com/{ID der Google+ Seite})

              Hope that helps,

              Peter

                My personal opinion would be to link your Google Business page to the home page of your site and then the corresponding location pages to their respective pages on your site. There is no such thing as too many links from Google to your site.

                It generally looks a lot better the the engines if everything you do ties together and does so appropriately. I don't think it's the best idea to take a general page and point that to specific locations if each location has a corresponding Google page.

                  Google Listing Doesn't Appeare on 3Pack anymore

                  Hi, One of my GMB listing suddenly stopped ranking in the 3Pack Results. It used to always rank in 1st or 2nd position in the 3Pack results, Suddenly since 24th May it completely Flatlined, I don't know why but It doesn't show up in the results, or when I click see more. It completely vanished for that term locally. My Listing is based in Brisbane, QLD, Australia and it doesn't show up for that term in The Brisbane area. But when the Location info is Australia and not Brisbane, Australia it shows up again. I don't know what is the problem in this case... Any Suggestions will be much appreciated.

                  What do I need to do for SEO when moving a business out of state?

                  Hello! So I have a business that I run out of a single location for the last 3 years. I am unfortunately having to move here in the next few weeks My question is what do I need to do in order to have the best chance at SEO for the new location? When should I make the changes? Does it take a long time for me to stop showing up in the previous location? and is there something I need to do to remove those? Also, is there an app or a website where I can find and update all listings at once or at least a bulk of them? I know that there are some weird sites that have my business info in them that I did not put there. Obviously these would have the wrong address. Some do not have a contact info or a way for me to log into them. What would I do with these sites? Thank you!

                  Google My Business answers not appearing

                  We've been trying to use the GMB Q&A feature as a lot of customers seem to be engaging with the listing/asking relevant questions. However, sometimes we answer a question directly from the business listing account but it does not appear (no error message is shown when posting either). When we go to re-post the answer, the text is sometimes still visible in the answer box field. Any ideas what might be causing the issue?

                  Duplicate central index listing

                  Hello Moz community I have a duplicate listing in Central Index (GB) and all communication channels seem unresponsive. I have emailed support and general sales. I even tried contacting them on their facebook account. I am stumped as to how I can get this duplicate listing removed as I have no control over it and the support is non-existent. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

                  Can I use the same interior photos for multiple stores in Google My Business?

                  Hi, The company I work for has many store locations across the country. Getting good/quality interior pictures has become very difficult for us. We recently good a Virtual Tour from Google for one of the locations, and they took some really pictures. According to Google, the "Photos should represent the actual business" and "Represent the real-world business location". My question is: since our stores are VERY similar in the interior, can we use the same pictures for them while we get more pictures? Would Google penalize this? Thanks!

                  Google My Business for 2 Websites With the Same Location

                  Hi,
                  My client has two separate websites with different business names but under one location and phone number. The websites are for two separate services that he offers.
                  My question is that if creating two Google+ for business pages for the two businesses bad for their SEO or local ranks?
                  And what about creating local listings for both?(This does not seem logical to me personally!!)
                  Thank you for the kind answers in advance.

                  Two businesses - using separate suite numbers

                  I have a client that has an office in a particular suite (Suite 101) at a local address. They rent the space so they cannot just add another suite number.  They are going to have two websites for two different businesses run from the same location.  They will have separate local phone numbers for each business.  Is it too much of a stretch for them to show one as "Suite 101-A" and the other as "Suite 101-B" for their local pages?  One of the businesses is very new with few citations at this point.  The other has not started up yet, so we have better  control of the citations that will be created. I've seen similar questions posted, but not one that addresses this specific issue. Thanks for any advice!

                  Is there a way to see if a Bing Places Listing is verified?

                  For example, Google has a badge for verified listings. I was wondering if Bing had something similar.
