Is a Google Categories fix is on the way?<\/p>\n
After recently completing a number of posts on the problems<\/a>, background<\/a> and possible work arounds<\/a> to the Google Maps category issues, I was able to interview Google’s Carter Maslan, Maps Product Management Director. It appears that a fix to the category issues is on the way.<\/p>\n He noted that he and Google were painfully aware of the categorization issues that had been identified here <\/a> and in the Google Groups postings<\/a>, that he shared the small business user’s dissatisfaction and he assured me that they have been working on the fixes. Some of those may be ready is as few as a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n I am anxious to see the solution to this problem. I am not sure whether it is relief at finally being able to stop beating my head against the wall or that I will finally be able to start complaining about something else \ud83d\ude42 but I am glad that Google will attempt to offer up a solution. Being the skeptic that I am, I need to see to believe but I was encouraged by my conversation with Carter.<\/p>\n
