| Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | vanessagene | 5/8/12 4:28 PM | We’ve just launched a new, easy-to-use interface to help you manage multiple business locations. There’s an announcement with more details on the Small Business Blog, including tutorial videos that walk you through it step by step: http://googlesmb. |
| Re: Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | Jaxcoffee | 5/8/12 5:35 PM | Thanks Vanessa, Is this where we should be doing all editing on listings we manage, or is it for bulk upload only? Also, will there be a link off of our Places page to this new UI? Thanks |
| Re: Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | vanessagene | 5/8/12 5:47 PM | @Jax Bulk uploads only, and if you do manage bulk listings, you’ll be routed to the new interface whenever you click to upload or edit a data file via the Places dashboard. |
| Re: Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | Rodka | 5/9/12 3:51 AM | Well, if its this upgrade that has caused all of the problems over the last month or so, then it is worth it. It looks easy to use and hopefully now there will be no more 'we dont support.....' - as the correct addresses and details will all be kept |

| Re: Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | Scott Clark | 5/9/12 8:07 AM | With this tool, is there a way to prevent the individual franchisees from "claiming" their listing and removing themselves from the "parent" corporation bulk collective? We need to lock things down for compliance. It's hard when you have 500+ locatio |

| Re: Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | Rodka | 5/9/12 8:27 AM | Hi Vanessa. Just tried the 'add a location' button on the new system and it seems to be greyed out or not working. Any advise please? |
| Re: Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | vanessagene | 5/9/12 8:38 AM | @Rodka - Are you managing 10+ business locations that you've gotten manually verified by our team? If not, that's why you're not able to add a new location. This interface is only for verified users managing multiple locations for the same business. |
| Re: Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | Rodka | 5/9/12 8:43 AM | Aaaah. Thanks Vanessa. I'm a newby to the techie stuff and feel out of my depth with you guys. Will check out what youve mentioned. Fingers crossed and Thanks again. |
| Re: Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | Scott Clark | 5/9/12 9:22 AM | Is it possible to download our current, filled spreadsheet to use as a starting point for updates, which are then uploaded back to the system? |
| Re: Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | Jessie H | 5/9/12 10:30 AM | Hey Scott, I had the same question! I got around the issue by logging into my account @ Google.com/places, not https://places.google.com/manage/. Hope this helps! |
| Re: Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | Scott Clark | 5/9/12 11:20 AM | You're right... It looks like the only place to get the current file is the old places interface. Thanks! |
| Re: Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | Jaykill33 | 5/10/12 6:43 PM | Hi @VanessaGene I originally had about 57 locations and bulk uploaded 15 yesterday. When I go into the new bulk listing area I am able to see all locations and edit those locations. I find this much easier to do than do it all individually. Is this o |
| Re: Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | vanessagene | 5/10/12 9:44 PM | @Jay - Are all these locations for the same business? If so — which is what the tool's intended for — you should put all the businesses in one spreadsheet and submit that for verification. (Or it sounds like your 15-location data file got manually ap |
| Re: Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | Jaykill33 | 5/10/12 9:52 PM | Hi @Vanessa. Yes they are all for the same business. I have had a play around since and it seems that if I make minor changes in the bulk upload area for previously veified businesses then it works fine. I will submit the businesses in small amounts |
| Re: Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | vanessagene | 5/11/12 8:55 AM | Perfect -- yeah it sounds like you've been manually verified by our teams already. So any new businesses you add via that interface get verified automatically. |
| Re: Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | royalnehal | 5/15/12 5:01 AM | hello vanessagene, it might be very bad question but it's high time to ask please, can I add only single location using this tool? AS i have business listing live for Wirral Uk, but I am looking to start by business in Liverpool UK as well. However |
| Re: Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | treebles | 5/15/12 5:17 AM | royalnehal. no, you should still use your Places dashboard to add a single location that is not part of a 10 or more location business. Single location businesses need to be verified as usual. If you have a single owner-verified listing in Wirral and |
| Re: Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | royalnehal | 5/15/12 6:00 AM | Thanks very much for your help. So, Should I create another Google places account for Liverpool listing or I can use the same dashboard that I currently using for Wirral listing. Please suggest for the best . |
| Re: Launched: A new management tool for bulk listings | treebles | 5/15/12 6:42 AM | You could use the same Places account for both locations for your business. Keep in mind that there is no way to transfer ownership of the account, so if you plan to delegate responsibility for the management of the Places listing to other people in |
