Things you should know: Duplicate Listing
Duplicate listing???
- Two listings, same address, same phone and same website = Duplicate listing - Do not be tricky, you’ll only confuse your clients and devalue your business listing

Things you should know: Multiple Listings
Multiple locations, Multiple listings??
- You can create multiple listings only when your business physically exists in many locations. - You can not create business listings for every city you service. Fortunately, Google lunched Service Area & Location Setting feature in Google business listing. So, service areas can be specified, either through a distance from a location point, or through a list of locations
