Google generates local listings automatically when they find citations from trusted authorities. I had a client who had 5 different listings to his one website. It took Google 9 weeks to remove the first "duplicate place" after I tagged it as such. I do hope they reach out better, but better yet, I hope they listen better when a SMB or an SEO tags a duplicate listing. Getting your company listed above the fold for free is and incredible deal. I've had clients get as many as 2,000 impressions a month - totally free with Google Local.

It's also interesting how this event is scheduled 2 days before the Local Search Summit. This conference will have a lot to talk about for sure! Exciting!!
