I’m glad for the increased exposure my google maps place page is giving my business.

In regards to it being bad to have multiple place pages with the same address. We are moving in to a new location where the previous tenant still is listed in Places under our address. Will this hurt us? How do we go about getting them removed?
Thanks!

That’s a revealing infographic. Yet again, it just shows the immense power of Google. Having a place page seems to be one of the most important factors in getting found locally. I don’t have a business as such so I don’t actually have a place page.
However I have been experimenting with other ways of getting local traffic. I would recommend putting at least one geo-specific keyword (preferably a city name) in your domain name if possible.
