The ever observant Plamen and his friend Stacy sent along a Places Search screenshot that clearly shows a Google Plus Page icon next to a Places search result<\/a>:<\/p>\n

When you click on the icon it shows<\/a> a Google Plus Page for a different Transmission service.<\/p>\n

It makes sense that Google would integrate Google Plus pages with their Local results. What better way to both allow a business to highlight the Page’s presence and incent other businesses to claim their Google Plus Page and keep it updated with meaningful information.<\/p>\n

I assume that this is test but it is an interesting one.<\/p>\n

Here is the syntax of the url:
\nhttp:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=transmission+servicing+lexington+ky&hl=en&safe=off<\/p>\n

&client=safari&rls=en&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=plcs<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>&ei=-PbMTtWiDeXK0AHni8D6Dw<\/p>\n

&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=8&ved=0CF0Q_AUoBw&prmdo=1<\/p>\n

&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&biw=1435&bih=721<\/p>\n

&emsg=NCSR&noj=1&ei=CvnMTrGUH4Pz0gGZ5DQ<\/p>\n

I shared this syntax with Barry Hunter and he noted that through trial and error he determined that removing “tbm=plcs” will remove the Plus image from the link. I am not at all clear on the purpose os the other operators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
