Coupons have been virtually invisible since their inception. I think though that is due to the <a herf="http://blumenthals.com/blog/2007/11/03/how-many-google-coupons-are-there/" rel="nofollow">lack of inventory</a> that currently exists. Once their inventory is broader and deeper I think you will see higher visibility. Mike Hi Online

Yes that would make sense. Coupons have been virtually invisible since their inception. I think though that is due to the lack of inventory that currently exists.

Once their inventory is broader and deeper I think you will see higher visibility.

Coupons have the potential to both drive local usage and further monetize local business data for Google. With internet search, Coupons could provide a new interface/access point for visitation and searching of local business data. It is easy to imagine a link at the top of the main Google search page or a link for coupons in the Local OneBox results that bargain hunters used regularly. With any number of web 2.0 technologies, Google could spread coupons across the internet as well. In fact the ready availability of coupons on Google might broaden the use of coupons in general.

It seems like it would be a popular feature (if it were findable) and that there are numerous ways that it could become more visibile. Your ideas are good ones, as would a link off the the main search menu. Another simple way to make them more visible would be to show a link them in the Local Onebox results, so when you saw the top 3 local business listings there would be a chance of a coupon showin up. An increase in visibility would also increase availability of coupons. Perhaps this upgrade and the recent spate of google-coupon domain names indicates that they are planning on making it more visible. Mike Hi Linda

Google’s lack of promotion has always been a mystery. It seems like it would be a popular feature (if it were findable) and that there are numerous ways that it could become more visibile.

An increase in visibility would also increase availability of coupons.

Perhaps this upgrade and the recent spate of google-coupon domain names indicates that they are planning on making it more visible.

I only noticed there even were coupons in Google Maps when researching hotels the other day. And Google should make "add coupons" more prominent when local businesses sign up in Local Business Center.
