As with most of the<br \/>\nother products, Google has given the Dashboard a \u201cGoogle+\u201d ish look.<br \/>\n<strong>2.<\/strong> Better integration with other Google products. The Dashboard now includes a tab<br \/>\nto allow business owners to manage their Google+ Local pages making it easier for<br \/>\nowners to gain access to the social features of Google+, such as sharing posts,<br \/>\nphotos and videos. If you do not have a Google account, you will not see the Google+<br \/>\nLocal page tab on your Google Places Dashboard.<br \/>\n<strong>3.<\/strong> Faster Updating. Edits will now be approved and go live quicker. Google is<br \/>\npromising faster data updates in most cases.<br \/>\n<strong>4.<\/strong> Service Area Businesses can now hide their physical address, and specify whether<br \/>\nthey serve customers at a storefront or if they visit their customers. We feel this is a<br \/>\nbig improvement.<br \/>\n<strong>5.<\/strong> A slicker photo upload functionality. Photo uploads now use the improved Google+<br \/>\nphoto upload interface and allow for drag and drop uploads.<br \/>\n<strong>6.<\/strong> The business description editor allows you to add rich text and URLs. This will<br \/>\nmake sure that you can link to your website straight from your business<br \/>\ndescription. The 200 character limit in the description field has also been removed.<br \/>\nHowever, the more rich text you add, the more likely that it will require longer<br \/>\nmoderation and thus the delay in getting your listing up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What has improved? 1.
