Assign a manager to a Google Places listing - Even if they have the old dashboard!!

If you haven't read my last post, you probably should. It has a video on how to assign a manager to a Google Places listing without giving up full ownership. Well, I took it one step further and decided to try it with the old Google Places Dashboard. Here are some instructions and a video for the lazy ones.

In the old account (Clients account) -
1. You need to have created a Google+ Local page for your business.
2. The places listing must be merged with the + Page. (This will not work unless they are merged.)
3. From the Google+ page dashboard - assign a manager to the page.

In the new account
1. Accept the management role. This is done quickest by visiting the Google+ page. Once you visit it, a pop-up message will appear to accept the role.
2. On the 'About' tab of the Google+ Local page, Click on the blue "Edit business information" button.
3. Don't make any changes and click on the 'Done editing' button at the bottom.

Go to the new Google Places Dashboard and you now have full editing capabilities on your clients listing!
