Had a few happy clients so far... but ran into a problem with a new client.

They have 2 separate businesses at the same addresses.

It's a contracting business and a plumbing business. He has had some work done with his construction business... pretty much just a places page made and a crappy website put together. The company that put the website together and put up the places page has the log in info to the places page so I can't get in there to change stuff around.

I know that eventually if I start up a places page with the same address as another they will merge together, and hopefully we can get them to delete their place page so that the new one can replace it.


The contracting business and the plumbing business have the same address, so, Assuming that we can get the other company to get rid of the place page they made for the contracting business, Here is my question... how should I go about setting this up? I don't want to do anything yet because I know consistency is key for local seo....

I have read that I should somehow manage both the plumbing business and the contracting business on the same place page..

this might be confusing but maybe somebody can shed some light on the situation?
