Dan Petrovic of DejanSEO\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/dejanseo.com.au\/google-plus-pushes-ads\/\">noted<\/a>\u00a0over the weekend that Google had started pitching Adwords Express to G+ Local Page owners.

That has been made much more obvious in this version with an appealing eye candy to make it seem like a real plus. There is no option to choose not to do so. Thats one way to expand ad inventory at the expense of unwitting SMBs.<\/p>\n<p>Since April when <a href=\"http:\/\/blumenthals.com\/blog\/2012\/04\/30\/google-removes-adwords-express-from-places\/\">Adwords Express was removed <\/a>from the Places Dashboard and given its own home as a subdirectory of Adwords, little has been heard of the product. There was no way for businesses to easily access its interface either via the dashboard or the G+ Local social interface. In September the product was <a href=\"http:\/\/blumenthals.com\/blog\/2012\/09\/20\/whither-adwords-express\/\">promoted<\/a>\u00a0via an email &amp; a\u00a0$100 coupon to businesses that had claimed their listings. It has been assumed but never confirmed by Google that their simplified Adwords product would show up again more prominently once Google had rolled out its &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/blumenthals.com\/blog\/2012\/06\/04\/google-local-what-wasnt-in-the-announcement-was-more-important-than-what-was\/\">Business Builder<\/a>&#8221; smb social local portal.

page management interface upgrade<\/a> seem to be part and parcel of a bigger upgrade \u00a0and <a
