Google has announced an upgrade to the Places Dashboard\u00a0<\/del>G+ Local Page editor that moves it closer in design to the G+ Pages editor<\/del>. As Jade noted the quality checks remain the same (and the time to live is likely the same as well). \u00a0This upgrade removes one of the bugaboos of the G+ Page for local in adding the ability to add categories. Here is the link to the\u00a0Updated Help Center Content<\/a><\/p>\n

Jade’s post<\/a> in the forum:<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve made some updates to the verification and editing experience for users managing pages in Google+ (in the Local Business or Place category). Take a look by visiting the page for your business, navigating to the About<\/b> tab, and clicking Edit Business Information<\/b>.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s new?<\/p>\n

– better status updates that tell business owners if their edits are pending or rejected<\/p>\n

– progress bar to help business owners fill out the most essential information<\/p>\n

– can now add categories via Google+<\/p>\n

– updated look and feel (tell us what you think!)<\/p>\n

Turnaround time for quality checks on edits will remain the same but we’re working hard to improve this experience as well. We hope you enjoy the new business information editing experience in Google+!<\/p>\n

Here is a screen shot of the new interface:
