Google Maps Tidbits

Category: Google Places (Maps & Local) – Mike Blumenthal – 10:04 am

While in Canada last week I noticed that:

1- The Goog-411 stated that calls were completed by bandwidth.com

2- In Google Coupons there was an option to sign up for an opt-in for Coupons to appear in the main Google Search engine results….

Please consider leaving a comment as your input will help me (& everyone else) better understand and learn about local.

  1. Hello,

    I also noticed goog-411 is saying calls completed by bandwidth.com, however I was in the U.S. calling a number in Texas. It also said bandwidth.com when I called NY.

  2. Hi Bob

    Thanks for the update. I had also noticed but had neglected to update my post.

    I wonder why the change? Who were they using before and why does bandwidth.com now get credit?

    Mike
