Google Maps now with updated display

Category: Google Places (Maps & Local) – Mike – 10:24 am

Google Maps has recently upgraded the information that is now displayed with the business. The display now includes images, reviews and owner provided description if available. Note in the after results image, that when an owner entered description was not available, reviews were substituted. This highlights why an owner should control their listing.

Here are two images, a before and after:
