Confused...
Ok I have a good local business listing but when I click my account, I still have no web pages associated with my listing. What I'm really confused about is why my web page that shares the same name with my listing isnt even showing up under web pages. I also recently finished posting my business to a bunch of free search engines and when I google my business name they show up in google yet still nothing for web pages in my profile. My profile has been active for 2 weeks now, How long does it take for web pages to start being associated with my listing?

In your LBC listing, did you add your website? Or are you saying you have a listing, and a website, separately, and expect them to be associated on their own?

yes I have added my website, it's just that google hasn't associated my business listing with my website or any other website out there that mentions my business or url.

If you physically typed your website address into your LBC account, and verified your listing, but Google doesn't display it, then I would say you have problems with your website. I have never seen Google display a result without displaying the info verified by the business owner, so this would be a first for me.

sounds like an "un-verified" issue? never ever happened to us...so that's my only thought.

have you gone to the forums to ask there at G?

I am verified, I had them call me and I entered the pin they gave me. How long does google normally take to associate webpages that mention your business name/url, to your own lbc listing. I see all these lbc that rank high that have 10+ webpages in their lbc profile yet I can't even get one.

Google's LBC changes are almost always updated within the hour.

If a business is named for example, 1234 dot com in their lbc profile and they have a website named 1234 dot com, you would assume the website would list in their lbc profile under "web pages". I have seen this for all the top ranking listings, yet It hasn't happened for me. Is it because my website is 100% flash? I'm listed in the 10 pack for 3 of the 5 categories I choose for my business listing. I just want web content to show in my profile under web pages.
