Google Places Now Fixed!
Wow! The Google machine is getting faster - it is only 3 days since reporting the problem with google and they have sorted it out, and we are no longer appearing as a B&B in web searches (hurrah!).
Thanks google - that's going to save a lot of late night phone calls!
However with the response that we were getting from that little mistake, if someone is looking to invest in a business in the Greenford (North/West London) area, then a B&B looks like it could be quite lucrative - just be prepared for some late night phone calls though!

Google Places Woes
Google we have a problem!
Having recently signed up with Google Places (the new name for what was Google Local), we have started to receive some very strange phone calls from people asking us if they can book a room!
It appears that Google have somehow listed the business as a Bed & Breakfast! I've logged in and checked the business categories and we are listed in the correct categories, and B&B isn't in that list! However, if you do a specific search, there we are on Google listed as a B&B!
Over the weekend we have received 3 calls (two of which were after 11pm... with one nearer 12am!), including one from someone who became quite argumentative and wouldn't believe us when we told him we were not a Bed & Breakfast!
Sorry fella, we're not! Honestly!
We have reported this to Google, but knowing how fast they can be in resolving issues like this, it could take several weeks for it to get put right.
In the meantime, may I just reiterate:
WE ARE NOT A BED & BREAKFAST!
Thank you.
