Action required before February 21, 2014 to keep your Google Places listing
Google is constantly in the evolution stage – adjusting their Google products according to search trends and advancements in technology (i.e. responsive websites).
Google Maps has undergone changes and as a result you will need to update and submit information about your business in your Google Places account. Your Google Places listing is vital to your business being found by clients on Google – it shows your Google map, type of business and more.
If you have received an email from Google asking you to update your Google Places information – it is not spam and you must take action before February 21, 2014 or risk losing your Google Places listing (note: this is bad).
You need to login, review and submit your information to keep your business listing live on Google.
The sooner you get onto it the better – some changes to information, such as your business address, requires verification with a new pin which will be sent to you from Google. Once you receive the pin you will need to sign in, verify your information and finally submit your data.
GOOP will be providing more information on Google Places and Google+ accounts in the near future.
