Problems continue for Google Maps

Filed in Google, Local Search by Matt McGee on April 29, 2009

It seems like nearly every week brings news of another problem with Google Maps and/or the Local Business Center. In case you missed it, today’s news deals with Google merging business listings just because they seem to be located too close to one another or have address/phone information that’s somewhat similar.

Unbelievable, isn’t it? (Probably not if you’ve been following their escapades for a while now.)

I went into the whole episode on Search Engine Land: Is It Time To Send Google Maps Back To The Drawing Board?

    This is one the the worst I have seen:

    Someone has setup 17 listings for the same business. Some with the same site.
