Google Quality Guidelines - Standards To Follow

Google Places, the local business directory powering Google Maps, holds probably the largest share of 'enhanced' local business listings in the world. As most search engine optimization (SEO) professionals know, Google Places has illustrated the power to put consumers in touch with the services they are looking for.

But what will happen if one day you find out that Google has suspended your Google Places listing? More embarrassingly enough - your Google Places listing has the message "We Currently Do Not Support The Location" ? As we all know, Google does not offer Google Places support but if they did - what would you do if Google said it would take months to reinstate your Google Places listing?

This has become the reality to thousands of business owners who have errantly wondered outside the lines of Google Quality Guidelines and sadly enough - unaware. What caused the suspension of the listing? What information was submitted which caused my listing to become technically blacklisted?

In Google Places Help Forums, we have helped thousands of business owners navigate their listing through the vagarities of Google Places and Quality Guidelines. More often than not we have found a enthusiastic business owner in a desperate attempt to reach out to its potential clients than a technical Google Places spammer trying to 'manipulate' Google search algorithms.

Before you submit your business data to Google Places, take the time to understand Google Quality Guidelines and read through how to get to your listing to the top .
