| Re: Suite # | treebles | 1/3/13 1:33 PM | I would use Suite 100. I would avoid the use of the pound sign (#), although Local might abbreviated that way for display in the Local listing. |
| Re: Suite # | PinnyP | 1/3/13 1:36 PM | Thank you. I appreciate your quick response. Why would you prefer to avoid the use of the pound sign? |

| Re: Suite # | Flash (RER) | 1/3/13 10:18 PM | The field that the suite number belongs in within the Maps database is not set up to accept characters such as #. |
| Re: Suite # | Blake Denman | 1/5/13 6:29 PM | My experience has been that regardless of what you put in that field Google will crawl other databases and will automatically update your listing to what they believe to be best, so you may want to see what is out there for your particular address. |
| Re: Suite # | Andrew Sawyer | 1/6/13 6:13 AM | The "#" symbol is not a permitted symbol for the Address Line (http://goo.gl/hbvTn). This shouldn't be added, nor should "Suite" be abbreviated as it is not the proper format. |

| Re: Suite # | treebles | 6/12/13 10:08 AM | Karen, Do not worry about that, Google would abbreviate the addresses for display in the Local listing. In the USA at least the # sign is frequently used to denote the suite number in the Local listing. |
| Re: Suite # | Karen Cox | 6/13/13 1:00 PM | Thanks Treebles, however from what I understand especially from Google is consistency across the web is important - business websites and their directory listings should match. Strange that they promote consistency and then do this. Plus clients get |
| Re: Suite # | Flash (RER) | 6/13/13 9:46 PM | You'll need to explain to the owner that these are fields on Google's map, thus it goes by Google's rules. There is a field to put in the unit number.. and it is just supposed to have a number or at the most # in it. As a number is what is being as |
| Re: Suite # | Karen Cox | 6/14/13 6:05 AM | Thank you Flash for you explanation. I appreciate it. Regarding my statement about consistency I am referring to consistency across the web - the client's website, social media pages, (other) directory pages, etc. - that all show have the addresses |
| Re: Suite # | Flash (RER) | 6/14/13 8:15 AM | I'm more the map expert, but the Local experts here have found that over the past year Google has gotten really good at recognizing the unit number in addresses even if it is expressed differently, and the evidence seems to be that they are looking f |
