Google has made a minor update to their guideline update disallowing<\/a> a listing for an ongoing service, class, or meeting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Last Week’s Update<\/td>\nThis Week’s Update<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
You also can\u2019t create a Places listing for an ongoing service, class, or meeting at a location that you don\u2019t own or have the authority to represent. Please coordinate with your host to have your information displayed on their Place page as a custom attribute<\/strong> or within their Description field.<\/td>\nYou also can’t create a Places listing for an ongoing service, class, or meeting at a location that you don’t own or have the authority to represent.

As I noted<\/a> at the time of the update last week:\u00a0Using the now hidden extra details as Google suggests would be useless and there is not enough space in the 200 character description. Not a helpful suggestion at all.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Now there is even less recommended choice. 200 Character space available to describe a business is barely adequate to describe a business. Asking either the location or the renter to split that space is not really a solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
