    Default Is my sentence formation correct?

    "What I meant to ask if your expertise in google paces will help us achieve top rankings in India as well" . Does that sentence sound right? I want to know if this specific consultant's expertise (who is based in the UK ) will also work for us in India or not.

    Thanks guys!

    Happy New Year!

    I meant to ask / What I meant to ask was / ....if.whether your expertise in google paces(?) will help us achieve top rankings in India as well.

    I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by 'google paces'.

    I don't know if that is the correct term here. Somebody with more knowledge of this field will tell you, I hope.

    No. I suggested amendments in my first response.

    What I meant to ask was if your expertise in "Google Places" will help us to achieve top rankings in India as well.

    What I would like to know is if your expertise in "Google Places" will help us to achieve top rankings in India as well.
