I sympathise with this problem greatly – we recently had to come up with a solution for a company whose store locator for its 75 outlets in the UK wasn’t even on the same domain as the top-level site pages, nor were the individual products pages. Serious leakage of external links, with very few internal ones, being another big issue.

Horrendous wait for Google Local listings, but one thing our client had to do was to start getting this sorted out.

Thank you Chris for the great insight and useful information regarding retail SEO for online stores having multiple physical locations. The biggest challenge for my company managing SEO for similar clients has been the open-ended waiting period we’ve experienced each time we update a Google local listing.

But what the heck — I can hear my father’s words ringing loud and clear, “believe me son — there’s no such thing as a free lunch”.

Thanks again,
Rick
