New Google Maps Hangout. See whats changing and hear interaction from local search experts!

Hello everyone. Here is a 40 minute video interaction of the NEW GOOGLE MAPS! It will show many new changes and a few other new SERP's that we are all dying to see. This was a Google hangout recorded from May 20th 2013 and provides some great results. Here are a few things to note:


  1. Left column results are gone! This will emphasize the need for reviews as this will be the main decision maker for potential customers. 
  2. There is only 1 small link to a Google+ page hidden in the reviews of a listing. 
  3. Results in maps are extremely different than front page results.
  4. Your map will be totally different than anyone else's. Google has been putting more emphasis on what your preferences and searches are. This will affect the ranks of businesses based on what Google thinks you want. 
Enjoy the video!
