The new local result list display<\/a>\u00a0that was discovered today makes more sense when viewed in context of the newly updated Maps<\/a>. Select the “Go to list of top results<\/a>” link from the refinement pane and you will arrive at the new page. For those of you that don’t have access to the new Maps view yet, you can get to this list view by adding the parameter “&tbm=plcs\u201d to a local search result URL as in\u00a0this search for Jewelry Design Buffalo NY<\/a><\/p>\n

Once there you can click on the Google Reviews link for any listing to see how the newly formatted G+ Page for local will look with the new red 5 star motif. Adding the parameter “&rfmt=s” to the +Page URL:\u00a0https:\/\/plus.google.com\/103156080483607740278\/about?hl=en&rfmt=s<\/a>\u00a0will take you directly to the G+ page showing the new review stars.<\/p>\n

Or better just go<\/a> there yourself. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
