New Google Maps - Does my strategy change?
-
I am currently in the process of ensuring our 70 locations are accurately portrayed in Google. Does the Google Maps update impact my efforts? My efforts being widespread citations spanning the local ecosystem, G+ optimization via Google Places, and in the future checking Google Map Maker for accuracy.

I believe we have that for headquarters, but I will check. Thank you!

Sounds to me like you are on the right track. As of right now, there is nothing telling us not to keep doing what we are doing. You could also add the Google+ Business Page to your list. It will give a social aspect to your listings and will allows users to interact with each location.

Where To Add New Content In Site URL?
I'm planning to add a new section to the website that will increase visitor traffic and social sharing by using regularly updated video content. I'm thinking of adding the videos to YouTube and Vimeo as their own channels and then host those videos on the site aswell using a cloud storage solution. Is this a good overall strategy? Where would I add it in the URL so it generates the most SEO benefit for the whole website? www.mysite.com/new-section www.new-section.mysite.com

Is city name really a no-no in Google+ Local description field?
I know that adding one's city name in the business name and category tags for Google+ Local is a no-no. And Google says so in its quality guidelines. But what about in the business description? I don't see that in Google's guidelines. Can anyone clarify?

Google Images in Normal Search
If you search for the term, "Crappie". Listed 4th is a row of images. These kinds of images always seem to grab my attention above the actual search results-- or at least they do for a moment. These images seem to be in order of google images rankings. I may try to take a swing at ranking for these images. Is there anything else I should know before I start? I can't seem to find any guidance on the topic. Thanks

How do you get links from a photo pointing to a third party site in Google Places?
How do you get links from a photo pointing to a third party site. I’ve seen a number on other Places accounts but I can't figure out how to do it. They had a picture/logo and the url underneath it (instead of it saying 'from the owner' underneath it), when you clicked the photo it took you to the website instead of just a page with only that photo on it. Please see image as an example. I've highlighted the image links below. Thanks in advance for your help 🙂 i0HxK.jpg
