Hi Google Business Profile, it's me again You've indicated this business has free tickets when it absolutely does not. I have suggested edits numerous times. Hoping to have this resolved so we do not mislead visitors... bit.ly/2m2RvsC

First time seeing these - has Google previously tested content accordions below meta descriptions? This is organic position #5 for a commercial mover search. Barry Schwartz
