Google Rolls Boost Out to 11 Additional Cities & Illinois

Category: Google Adwords Express (Tags, Boost) – Mike Blumenthal – 2:52 pm

Google just announced that Boost, their new simplified Local Adword Product, is now available in the following cities:

* San Jose
* Seattle
* Wichita
* Charlottesville (VA)
* Atlanta
* Chapel Hill
* Orlando
* Washington D.C.
* Boston
* Cross Plains (TX)
* Portland (ME)
* All local businesses in Illinois.

The announcement indicates that Boost as configured is working well. The borad and rapid roll out indicates that Google is ramping quickly and we should see Boost available nationally and probably internationally in the not too distant future.

I am curious from those of you that have tried it, your impressions.

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