Google Places Guidelines - Reading Between the Lines & Stern Warning for Home Businesses

Google Places Guidelines - Reading Between the Lines & Stern Warning for Home Businesses | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

The Google+Local guidelines are written in a very subtle way and you need to be able to think like Google and read between the lines. If you are a consultant you also need to understand what some of the unwritten rules are that are not even spelled out. (So G does not draw a line in the sand for spammers to figure out how to cross.)

But those vague, not totally spelled out rules can also trip up a perfectly legit business owner and get them in trouble. GREAT EXAMPLE at the bottom of this post regarding home-based businesses.

I got an alert last night that the Google Places Guidelines changed - For the Better IMO! It's always been against the rules to add city or keywords
