The bots keep adding the category " Divorce Attorney" to my listing, and for the life of me I can't figure out where they're getting that. It's not in my verified places data, and I can't find it through a web search, and I've checked all the local listing sites that I can thing of. Is there any way to determine the source of the data being applied so I can fix it? The listing is for  The Law Office of Clark Daniel Dray, #200 357S McCaslin Blvd Louisville CO80027. SInce I don't know how to link to a Mapmaker listing, here's the Google+ local page -  https://plus.google.com/112516609394066729221/about

Thanks in advance,
Clark

Thank you. I suspect the culprit for the bad data is Citygrid, which until I called them had some crazy categories assigned to my listing, including homeopathy. 

As for the multiple offices, thanks for the heads up. I've run into some problems with that before and was able to resolve it after quite a bit of work. I have been careful to make sure I'm in specific compliance with the guidelines and recommendations set out on the thread you've pointed to, particularly Vanessa's statements on the matter, but even so I may wind up changing it just so I don't have to go through that whole song and dance again.

I made some changes to your POI to get rid of the category, by editing the Place page directly:
When the edits go through, and you get an email, please review and accept.  

Incidentally, you have four additional offices in the Colorado area?  It might be easier to maintain one office, define a service area from Dashboard for your main listing, and list the virtual offices on your website for meetings with clients.  It's a violation of Place's policy regarding virtual offices (http://productforums.google.com/d/msg/business/Az--JGbPOME/PwGBsBKNudUJ) that could get your account flagged, and lead to merging issues with the Places merge bot.  

You'll have to do a Google search for Law Office of Clark Daniel Dray "divorce" and see what turns up.  Also try http://getlisted.org/.
