Just how difficult is Google+ Local/Local Search???
For those of you who do not know, I am a pretty consistent contributor to the "Google and Your Business" forum, mainly dealing with issues for Google+ Local... and as most of you guess, there are a lot of problems. Well, I was on it today and I saw one post in particular that caught my eye
I guess it's not only small businesses that have problems with Google+Local, but Michigan State University? That was a surprise to find.
What issues is everyone else out there having with Google+ Local?
The picture is a little hard to read, but If I adjust it any further I don't think anyone will be able to see it. Basically Michigan state university can't find a way to correctly display their address and phone number.... oh and it is labeled at "michigan state university veterinary teaching hospital" not "Michigan State University"
I just did a quick Google Search and... it is quite a problem for them. "Michigan State Univeristy" has their map market on a city federal building, not the school. Oh Google... your local maps issues don't seem to discriminate... ha
What a mess! I know Google wants to take over the world, but seriously???
Was this a new problem after the mitigation to Google+ or was this with their Local Map Listing before as well?
I'm going to assume since it is listed incorrectly in Google Maps, it was an existing problem. The merger to Google+ should have just transferred the same information over from Places to +. Since the NAP information is wrong, that leads me to believe it's been wrong for quite a while, lol
It would appear the the emperor is not wearing any clothes.
