Eh? How are they going to make money with this?
OK, I see: Under "Business Profile" you can add all kinds of bells and whistles. For a fee. (I suppose these people know what they are doing--I think they're giving away a lot.)
And, it appears they are giving away free ads, then trying to sell position. Your listing is free, but to be in the top section, you have to pay--but you pay per click.
Whew! You folks in search optimization should be a hero with your clients with this.
The user interface on this is impressive. And I checked it with suburbs vs city and the results were outstanding in my areas.
There is a very good pdf (just print the second page) that is useful in explaining this to clients. I can think of several cool ways businesses could use this with print to market their business.
