The ever evolving Google – Google Places
Having this week been working with two different clients on their Google accounts, I thought I would do this post as I found some things have changed recently in the world of the ever evolving Google.
Once logged in to a Google account we see the “Local Business Center” area now has a new name “Google Places”, this is where we see our business dashboard and account information and where we can set up a business on Google maps.

Google Maps
Adding your business to Google maps involves just a simple form to complete. If you don’t want your email published then leave this field blank, likewise if you want to appear on the Maps but not specific to your postcode then use the “Service Areas and Location Settings” section to select “Do not show my business address on my Maps listing” option or select the area you wish to be shown in services.
