Google finally listed my current business name! Yay! Oh but
Google finally listed my current business name! Yay!

Oh but wait... What happened? First of all, it isn't the listing that I changed with great consternation on Google's website. Instead, they finally got the correct info from the phone company. My updated Google listing is still sitting in limbo for another 14-15 days. OK I don't really care where they get the right information from, as long as they've got it.

Oh but wait... Now I do a search for 'musical instruments' in 'mountain view, ca'... I used to have the number one slot (but with the wrong name). Now I'm somewhere on page 2. They even list stores in Santa Clara ahead of mine. Not listed at all if you're searching from Palo Alto.  This is totally unacceptable. 'Musical instruments in 94041'. There aren't any other musical instrument stores in 94041. And yet I'm tenth on the list.
