Fixing Qype Duplications

Last month we shared our thoughts on Qype and the problems some businesses are seeing with duplicate listings.

Over the weekend we had 3 enquiries regarding this very problem caused by having a Qype listing.

So we thought we’d delve even deeper to the mysteries of Qype listings and what can happen when you use third-party websites and directories to handle your business details.

Avoiding Qype Duplications & Errors

Follow these simple rules and you will avoid having any issues with duplicated listings, or merging details with more than one Google Places listing.

1. Go to the source: Create all your Google Places listings directly in your Google Places account. If you allow a third-party to create the listings for you, then you will always have problems when it comes to updating incorrect information, the same goes for when you need to change your business details. If you don’t have direct and sole access to your Google Places listing details then you aren’t in control.
