Check out the original format of Google Places…far from what we're currently seeing with Google + !

What are your plans for configuring your new Google Places account within Google+? I think it's inately important to make certain that your Google Plus account contains all the exact same information your business is representing on its website.

But that's just the beginning. Don't forget that Google, Yahoo and Bing have all adopted Schema.org microformat standards. Keep than in mind when developing or converting your business website pages!

After Google bought Zagat, it is now more important than ever to begin soliciting reviews for Google Places for your business. I look forward to seeing Googles changes over the next few months. It really should be exciting!
