Getting Access to Google Places Account

Have you tried re-gaining the access to this business listing by getting the postcard again?

I know it's a bit of hassle an a week of waiting, but might be a help of last resort...

Hiya Ryan

Have you had no joy with the recovery options?

https://www.google.com/accounts/recovery

@thelegalstop, @steve , basically I have a double whammy of a problem. 

You see I know it's my Google Places listing, because it's my website, my telephone number and address and so on. However, for whatever reason that Google Places account is not associated with any email account that I have access to. My mind has gone blank. I have been trying to think of every email address I could have used. 

See, to recover an account I either need to say I don't know my password or I don't know my email address, and I have tried and neither works. 

It's for a Google Places account under the business name of "iPad Screen Repair" with the domain www.ipadscreenrepair.org.uk , it's been going some time, and it gets it's fair share of business and inquiries. I know from past experience whenver I have meddled witha Google Places account, it has ruined the ranking and I have regreted it. However, in this place, I am having to do it very reluctantly. And I do need to do it. I need to change the telephone number on that listing badly.

I so wish Google brough out a service where you would pay a premium, say $50 a year, for business people to get telephone support from the Google admin or support team on things like this. Because it's very frustrating on Google forums because you don't know and you are kind of blind being led by the blind. 

It is incredibly confusing, and frustrating!

Assuming you can't use the phone number as part of the recovery options?

Or see it via your places control panel - http://google.com/lbc If you can, then as legalstop says, you could request a new postcard.

Don't know if this will help, I know Google are in the process of migrating us over to a new places dashboard. Apparently it will be easier to manage places pages, and assign ownership:

Another idea, can you go into your security settings and reset your recovery info?

Otherwise only thing I can think of is the Places Forums, but sounds like you've been there already

Claim ownership of the original verified Local listing

You'll need to click on 'claim your business' and search for your company name. Choose the local page. A box will appear saying somebody already verified the listing, at which point should can click on 'Request admin rights'. 

The request will be sent to whichever email address was originally used to set up the listing.

The trouble with option two is whether you have access to the original email.
