We do have an office but we have never had a single walk in customer. So I put an image of the sticker on <a href="http://www.knock3.com" rel="nofollow">my website</a>. I am not sure if the bar code will be scanable, but it least shows that we recieved the honor. Could you or have you addressed issues relating to "related maps" it seems that some of my customers and other people I taal to tag listings in their "my maps" and they show up as "related maps" while others do not. Is this just google being slow or is their some selection process. I haven't been able to make sense of it yet. Thanks, John Hi,

I guess I could hang it by my UPS...though I'm sure that sucker would get stolen pretty quick. I will for grins get a photo of it on my box just for you guys. :) I work out of my house so I’m not sure where I would hang it.

So I guess UPS boxes arent an issue. Google is strictly looking at search numbers. I have a UPS box and received one of these letters yesterday. So I guess UPS boxes arent an issue.

But as Jason <a href="http://www.localsearchpilot.com/local-search/google-favorite-places" rel="nofollow">pointed out in his piece on Places Poster</a>, it will be interesting when Google sends everyone a bar code for their window. @Martijn I guess you will just have to wait. :) @John
