Alan

You have a phone number for google??? OMG! Thats like Willy Wonkas golden ticket! I have not ran a adwords campign in a long time, dont remember been given a number!

Do you mind posting the number on here?

Speaking to google is usually next to impossible. They usually expect you to go through thier useless webmaster tools forum thingy.

Thanks
Tony

This is what I was saying in the beginning of the thread about the marker being the round one. This is just put across better

If you don't conduct face-to-face business at your location, you must select "Yes, this business serves customers at their locations" under the "Service Areas and Location Settings" section of your dashboard, and then select the "Do not show my business address on my Maps listing" option.

Hi Warren

Yeah, but apparently GOOGLE also removed some by mistake and couldn't automatically reinstate them so are 'waiting' for those people to come back to them  :o

What's the morals of the story

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Relying on Google for your income is like dancing with the devil.

I've ticked the "yes this business serves customers at their location"
But left "do not show business address" button unticked.
I have a nice place marker on the map and still pop up number 1
or thereabouts for all areas I want.

Why?

I'm familular with google guidlines I've never read this.  If you check "yes biz serves at their location" underneath you have a choice,

"dont show your address and list towns/areas covered" or

"show address and distantance covered"  ie. 20 mile raduis from Cambridge

That latter is also legit.

Hold on correction, after the first question there is a "show my loctation on map" check box

My point is, it would not give you this option if they never wanted you showing it, as this question is after "do you serve at customers address"
