This week–Google just released Google Buzz to Gmail users. Why is this important?

More changes on the Local Search front!
Do you need a website? In most cases, a set of local search results from Google Maps, courtesy of Google’s Universal Search integration will show up before organic results. Within those results are links to individual businesses’ “Place Pages”. From here, users can find coupons, reviews, store hours, etc. There is a very good chance users will find this before they find your site anyway.
We’ll go over how some of these changes effect you as well as some common sense strategies to implement so that you don’t get left in the dust.
