What used to be called Google Places, is now called Google Plus Local. If you’re a legitimate business, then making sure you have a Google Plus business page setup, is vital to the overall success of your business. Google+ is quickly becoming the most used social media platform, for businesses all over the world.
Given that Google is generating (by my estimate) about 80% of local leads in the US and more in Europe it is essential that the listing is correct and has granular category detail about what your business does.
