When Place Pages were first launched in September last year, we noted that they would provide a much more detailed view of the business location with additional information such as:

• Transit Stops


• Short description of the location/business


• Images from Google street view


• Other related maps

This update was first noticed by local search marketer Mike Blumenthal who also noted a number of other changes, including:

• The businesses website now shows above the OneBox pushing the OneBox slightly further down the page


• More Info has become the branded Place Page, directly under the business name


• There is an additional large and prominent map pin next the business name


• Review numbers no longer show when there are less than a certain number

If youre a local business owner, make sure to add or update your business listing with a Places Pag
