What’s Going on in the Member Facebook Group

Google Places dilemma. I have a client, a psychologist, who is operating from a leased desk in someone else’s business (weight loss advice). They are two separate businesses but they share an address and even a phone (the receptionist redirects incoming calls). At the moment my client is ranking well in local results but with her old address in the Google Places listing. Now, the weight loss business ALSO ranks in local results for the term “psychologist <location>’ even though they are only cross-selling my clients services.

 

So should we claim our Places listing, change the address and phone and risk loss of visibility? Or just let it go for now and enjoy the two listings we have?

 

Note: the client’s website and all other major directories have the correct NAP. Google Places is incorrect but ranks her #1 for a key geo-phrase.

Weekly Local Business Tip

What is addiction?

 

Addiction is a worldwide mysterious plague that infests every level of society. It baffles and corrupts teachers, doctors, lawyers, police, and politicians. What is addiction, and why is it so powerful and pervasive?

Addiction is a rebellion against the metabolic basis of life. Metabolism requires nutritious food to satisfy hunger and create health. Addiction bypasses metabolism by replacing food with fantasy, nutrition with numbness, hunger with euphoria, satisfaction with craving, and health with sickness. So addiction is a fanciful, futile flight from life with a fleeting euphoria, constant craving, and certain sickness

  • Addiction to technology, including email, crackberries, smartphones and especially Facebook.
  • Interuption.  Not listening.
  • Negativity or constant critism.
  • Poor eating habits
