I have a client who has some troubles with his Local Search Results. I submitted the addresses and url and got verified thru phone from Google. But the problem is it shows a wrong URL, which has nothing to do with the business. The url is www.sarasotamassageschool.com If i do a search for sarasota school of massage therapy it gives the right address but wrong URL. I spoke to Matt Cutts in Pub con and I did get an email from Google referring to Matt Cutts reference. It is very unusal problem and Google team did respond to me. I send them an email back. Lets see how it goes, at the meantime if any one knows anything please let me know and appreciate your great work. Thank you Suresh Hi Friends.

I could use someone with some statistics background to help me better understand the data so if you find anyone send them along :) Mike Hi Greg-
