Arrghhhh! I'm so confused about why my websites simply fail to appear under local business listings.

I've tried it twice, inputting all my details (address, telephone, company name etc) into the system and yet, when I search for 'web design' followed by my local area I'm presented with all my competitors without my company showing.

I get to the point where I'm still pressing the 'next' link and seeing businesses located 30 miles away from me, without even seeing mine.

I did notice before that my listing needed verifying (I'm sure I did that ages ago though) and so I did it straight away. It said that my listing should appear within a day, but I can see that it does appear if I search Google Maps for it (so long as I type my company name in the search).

Surely my listing is active if it's appearing under Google Maps? I had this exact same problem with my previous website and it never seemed to crop up under the business listings.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Having the same problem. I have found people that specialize in optimizing "ten packs". Just google "optimize ten packs" - you'll find some great sites out there in getting ranked in Google Maps w/ the ten packs.

whats "ten packs"? I guess getting result in local business depends where you are hosted and where you place your link. It should be on your target market.

Thanks I'll take a look. Have you managed to fix it or are you still having the same problem?

I can't really see how I can get in the top 10 if I'm not even appearing under my town name

If I type 'web design' followed by my full postcode (or zip code to those from the US) then my listing shows up, but that's the only way it works!

Wow, some people just really don't care at all how stupid they would look like just to promote their site!

Anyway, pealo, I advice that you ask for google help forum first regarding that matter to get a more specific solution for your problem.
