Any tips on how to copy a link to Google Place for a website. Google is always changing and now you can't simply copy and paste in the link. I could only find a way to put the map on my site

Just to be clear...the public's view of and interaction with your "places" listing is through Google+ (what you are wanting to do). A preview/overview is shown beside search results when the listing is expanded

Even though you see the "is this your business"/manage on the page it is still managed through your places dashboard. SABs without a physical location are discouraged from creating/claiming/using the plus interface last I checked****

I updated my site recently and snipped a image of each of my reviews and am playing them in a slideshow.

not sure...I'm assuming glitch but check the places dashboard

I say glitch because I have two listings having address issues (not the same issue).........but others in your area don't seem to have the issue...even those with hidden addresses

as far as losing organic....what you actually did was gain spots because #1 places is the "highest" spot when a listing matches the query location. The organics usually show highly ranked listings in nearby areas.

#1 places usually generates more calls than #1 organic.

can move the pin....but I'm not sure I'd fook with it as long as I was #1

yeah...I googled it before replying......

again...you can move the pin. Since your address is hidden from the google places dashboard you will have to:

1. sign in/select edit
2. select "No, all customers come to the business location" - this should cause "fix incorrect marker location" to appear under the map preview
3. select ""fix incorrect marker location"
4. in the popup move the pin to the correct location and click save changes
5. select "Yes, this business serves customers at their locations" to hide the address again
6. submit

edit: probably won't show immediately
