What difference does showing or not showing your
location make.
Surely showing your location shows your not a fly
by night and you don't mind people knowing where
you live.

From google help -

Don’t receive customers at your location? Serve customers at their location? Select the “Do not show my business address on my Maps listing” option within your dashboard — if you don’t hide your address, your listing may be removed from Google Maps.

Thanks Dave, never seen that before, just done it.

Wonder if its to stop people who added lots of locations to look local? Cant look local if no address is showing.

[JandS]

Why give you the option then 
They know what your address is so they know whether
you are actually local or not.
If it's an option then it is just that..an option so your choice
so why remove your listing if you don't check it.
Why not make it default to it depending on what you choose
above it.

[Craigp]

I agree John,

Don't think I have seen a listing without the address, so not many towing the line.

Also its not really a "places" listing without a 'place'

If google calls you,tell them that people collect and drop off rugs at your address and your fine then.

Just went to check my Google Places listing and my it appears my account has been deleted, my business in no longer showing, not sure why has been ranking well and now no trace, no warning emails or phone calls, any idea's anyone?

[feldon]

O.K quick update, my account has not been deleted I used the wrong email to log in but when I click on show me my listing it comes up with the message "we do not support this location" which is why i assume my listing is not showing, any idea's anyone?

Hi Richard, if you read the whole thread it's explained / revealed throughout.  Al.  It still takes weeks to get back on though.

Yes been a bit lazy Alan, so little time when i get home just finished 6 days working flat out and if its not one thing its another, tonight got home to find that waste pipe under kitchen sink was leaking water everywhere and spent a couple of hours striping cleaning and what have you, then kids to bed etc... Did skim read and from what i gather it is to do with showing my address, i've emailed google and also now changed my listing to hide my address so hopefully it will reappear sometime, hopefully soon.

Richard, you also need to change Uposltery to Upholstery in the menu bar on your web site.

No, it's a cunning plan.

Take in rugs and we have a till like Arkwrights!

Hector, do you remember the one where they went to the Balmoral Hotel opposite the hospital on Thorne Road?

[*Hector*]

Most certainly do Allan..... My dad had just left the army and was Doncaster Area health authority's chief auditor, so know the hospital very well, and of course the hotel..... that episode was where he was taking Gladys-Emanuelle for a night out.... 

[Allan Simmons]

There's a corner shop just round the corner from the actual set, opposite Peglars entrance, they now call themselves Arkwrights.

I remember going down to the set as a kid and seeing them filming, a mate of mine was in one episode but his bit was cut in the final show.

He took her there because he could see the shop from the bedroom window
