I have been getting the recorded calls too, "press one to update your Google listing" even after I pressed it I still got the damn calls.
Last night they called and said that my Google account was going to be suspended, so I pressed 1 and got a live person (perhaps Susan or maybe even Coopon Suzie) and she checked my listing to see if it was valid.
I don't know if it was bogus or not but those constant calls are a pain in the c*nt.
Love....Jill

Hello :



Establishing your Google Places profile is essential in today’s retail and business climate. You want your business to come up at the top of the list, when people are using apps and Maps to find your type of product or service. But — more than that — you also want to present your business in its absolute best light, instantly inspiring confidence and trust in potential customers.


It’s always easy to procrastinate using the internet to promote your business — particularly when yours is a “brick and mortar” operation, and you’re dealing day to day with customers walking through your door — but if you stop and think of the advantages of Google Places for Business (and the opportunities for increasing your profits by building loyal, repeat customers who can easily find your store) it’s worth taking the time to act.


We utilize a tool called your Google Places Page to build you a professional profile. This profile will display a proper description of the services you provide. We list you under the proper categories so that you can show up for customers looking for your general service. We will be placing your business in the map section of Google which is the LARGESTbusiness directory in the world. Once you appear on the first page of Google+Local it will solidify you as a leader in your industry.



This is a LIFETIME listing for your business. There are no ongoing fees associated with with your listing.



This is an introductory offer, we want the opportunity to prove these valuable services to you and earn your trust and future business. Because you have never been listed properly you qualify for the introductory offer. It's a one time fee of only $197.00.
Google Places can help your business…

  • Vault past more popular or established competitors
  • Capture “hidden” customer pockets – whose absence is only caused by the fact that they haven’t yet discovered you
  • Link with Google Maps for ease in bringing people to your doorstep
  • Control what searchers see and find
  • Enable people to find your business and reach you – even if you don’t have a physical public store, office or showroom
  • Present all contact information (and location) neatly and easily, in one convenient location
  • Display your hours of business
  • Allow you to offer coupons and discounts (which in themselves can help you track your traffic and understand it better)
  • Allow you to use photographs to enhance your business “curb appeal”
  • Be perfectly positioned, as more and more people abandon paper directories in favor of phone apps and internet listings
  • Be found through various mobile technologies.
  • Include featured reviews and citations, so potential customers can instantly find the “proof” they need that your business is a better place to start than a competitor’s
  • Dramatically extend your reach
One of the key factors to keep in mind about customers today: They no longer source local businesses the old way. Instead, they are highly interactive, and want answers instantly and immediately. The quicker they can find out all about your business, the more they are likely to choose you over your competitors.

Every day for the past month I have recieved a recorded call from Google wanting me to update something or other.... I have hung up everytime....but today I felt enpowered to stop this nonsense.... I pushed 1 and spoke to a live operator who hung up on me in mid sentence.....

Are you sure it was actually google? The Big G name carries so much weight that lots of shady telemarketing operations use their name. They're calling about your google rankings or listings or search positions but they aren't from google.

I've received postcards from google with adwords coupons, but I've never had them make a sales call to me. I can't imagine them using something like an autodialer. I could be wrong (it's happened before) but I'd think this is someone trying to use their name to get in the door.
