Broland - good to see you are still grinding away on this, this is a quality service!
I would like to clarify using the address/friends address thing...not recommended.
Would like to see some follow ups from these reviews in 30 days re: movement/placement

Thanks, and thanks for your help before the launch of this service.
I've sent out 4 reports since the 2 review copies so hopefully I'll get at least 1 initial review..
It's very hard to gauge the effectiveness and serp movement of GP pages from citations due to them not being the only factor and taking time to kick in. Just like web sites, the place pages need to be optimized with lots of photos, content, reviews, mymaps listings, correct NAP, site interlinking, and updates - I offer free tips/recommendations on doing so with my service but most people seem to neglect doing so or just don't understand optimizing GP pages. I see the same thing with regular web sites - it's like throwing all kinds of good quality backlinks at a site that has crawl errors, is missing correct title tags, H-tags, good content, and interlinking.
For both web sites and GP pages - doing both optimization and linkbuilding(citations) around the same time dominates, but hey we're all lazy fucks looking for the easy way out.
I have seen quite a bit of trust/authority coming from the citations allowing more links to be thrown at the sites - that's something we here at the WF community like right?
