DOs DON'Ts
Don't edit your Places Dashboard Only edit your Plus Dashboard

Useful Things To Remember After Merging
Do not use your places dashboard to edit information. Yeah you can only edit inside of Google+, as Google has very cleared in these instructions.
Social interaction on your Google+ Local listing is one of the major factors that determines how your listing will rank locally. So after completion of a merge, you should regularly post engaging content which will make a huge difference in how your business shows up in Google.
