Subject: Re: Business listing categories
Hi,

It would help wouldn't it! The only problem is this discussion then
shows up in SERPs for the business name. My website's here: http://www.frowey.com
- my google maps listing is under Frowey Farm Shop. My listing has
Buckinghamshire as the county and uses the only category listings that
are available ie butcher, business to business etc. There is no farm
shop category although other farm shops are showing in google maps
under a farm shop category? However, if I search in google maps for
Frowey Farm Shop is brings up an entry that doesn't show the county as
Bucks but in business centre the listing has the county. If you click
through it shows two user created content items, one mine and one
entered by one of our stockists - they both show different forms of
the address and content descriptions that differ from my original
created in the business centre. You'll see that I've added google maps
to my website (contact us), a while back this stopped working until I
edited the source link and it now pulls through the user generated
content rather than the business centre description.

I don't appear in either farm shops bucks, farm shops milton keynes or
farm shops buckinghamshire but if you search for the explicit name,
there I am.

The more I look at it the more I lose the plot.
