In this video, Tom Foster of Foster Web Marketing explains how Google Places has been replaced by Google+ Local—and what it means to your business.
On May 30th, Google announced a huge change that has the ability to impact the way you view businesses online, as well as how your business page looks to others.
Instead of using the previous 5-star rating that you’re used to seeing in Google Places listings, Google+ Local incorporates Zagat ratings—which provide a much more comprehensive 30-point score. These reviews will be available throughout all Google search pages, including search, Maps, Google+ and mobile.
Are you wondering how to update your Google+ Local page? Not to worry. You can still update your business information via Google Places and the changes you make will be transferred to Google+ Local.
Don’t have a Google+ Local listing? Well, now’s the time to hop on board. Yellow page ads just don’t cut it anymore; the clients you want to reach are involved in the online community. By building up your Google+ Local page, you will be taking the steps you need to cultivate these important relationships.
