    Hi,
    I have an electrician's website which have shops at two places in Georgia,USA . One shop is in Lithonia and other is in Atlanta.

    Website is SE optimized for "Atlanta Electrician" and "Lithonia Electrician"

    on Google.com when we search for "Lithonia Electrician" then in Google places website is at first place and in web results it is on 6th position.
    but when we search for "Atlanta Electrician" then in web results it shows at 3rd position but it does not show up in the places result.

    Address for atlanta and lithonia are different and both have been approved on google places. Lithonia address is showing on first position for "lithonia electrician". but Atlanata address do not show up on any page of google places while searching "Atlanata electrician". it was showing up on 9th page for few days but suddenly it disappeared from google places. Try searching in google places with "McCall Enterprises", then it will show both address but in normal searches, atlanta address is nowhere to be found.

    I tried a lot but no success at all.
    Can anyone here tell me what's wrong? I really want my Atlanata places address to show up on front page.

    Does the address on the Atlanta places page match exactly how the address is used for that same location on other places on the web?

    Yes address for Atlanta match exactly with the address mentioned on website. Infact the listing for google places has been verified by Google. You can check address at bottom of all pages.

    @vedaliya
    website is www (dot) mccallent (dot) com
    Sorry i am not allowed to add URL's yet on these forums. Please check the website and let me know if you can find anything which can help me getting it's Atlanta address to show up in search.

    ​Google does not accept same business listing for different locations... It removes one of the two listings from the search results after considering it as multiple listing for one business.

    There may be a little confusion here. If you have a single location that targets many different cities then you can only have one Google places profile, but if your business has multiple physical locations then you can have a separate Google places profile for each location.

    Business is at two physical locations, one in Atlanta and other in Lithonia. But for both places the business name is same and same phone number is being used for both places. What do you think, is it phone number which make Google think that both listings are for single location? Or is there something else I am missing.

    I think the same phone number could definitely be the issue. You should have a unique address and phone number for each location.

    This is correct! Plus your citations you are building for Atlanta should have this exact information as well.
