Location Wars IV: Interior View with Google Places
8 Nov. 2010 | Author: 
And yet another move in Google’s major offensive in local searching. One day after the Lat-Long Blog promoted the new ad feature Boost, Google launched the next coup: All available business photos are on Places.
In the pictures, the rooms in a business that has an account on Google Places are visible. For half a year, businesses in the US, Japan, and Australia were able to call in photo teams from Google to photograph their businesses. Everything was allowed that the businesses liked: whether it be façades, displays, food, or decorations, everything was photographed that the store owners wanted.
The fact that this feature was started just a few days before the start of Places Search from Google is everything but a coincidence – just like Boost’s launch. Both of them show what will be important in the future, in order to be found in a local search using Google. Namely to use as many features as possible in order to fill up the blanks.
