Understanding the New Google Places

Social networking via Google Plus Local.

Because Google Plus Local is fully integrated into the Google Plus social networking platform, businesses now have the opportunity to interact with their customers on a large scale via their Google Plus Local pages.

You can post updates, send and receive private messages, develop a following, organize your following into categories (or “circles”), and even leave reviews for other businesses using your Google Plus Local profile. These advanced social networking features carry a broad range of exciting opportunities for connecting with your customers in powerful new ways.

Google Plus Local reviews

The second great thing about Google Plus Local reviews is that, in place of the previous 0 to 5 star rating scale, there is now a 30-point rating scale that requires

reviewers to break down their ratings into specific aspects of your business (customer service, food, and décor, for example). This gives you a great advantage when it comes to interpreting and applying reviewer data for the betterment of your business.

Reach.

It used to be that Google Places listings were only shown on Google Search results pages. Now, your Google Plus Local listing will show up when web surfers search Google.com, Google Maps, and Google Plus, as well as when people access Google through mobile apps.

Take advantage of everything Google Plus has to offer your business by enlisting the help of

competent professionals like us, Web Marketing Masters.
