| Re: Upgrade your Google+ Local page early | followsadies | 6/7/12 12:57 PM | Jade, This is great for businesses that already have a Google+ Page. If you own a business that DOES NOT have a Google+ page but ONLY the Google+ Local page - do you suggest we now go out and create the Google+ Page? Or will we in the coming days/w |
| Re: Upgrade your Google+ Local page early | Jaxcoffee | 6/7/12 1:00 PM | I would be happy to be part of this testing Jade. But my business is not a storefront business. Any place for me to be able to help? |
| Re: Upgrade your Google+ Local page early | Jade W | 6/7/12 1:15 PM | Yeah, you can go ahead and create a Google+ Page (make sure it's in the Local/Business category!) if you want to be early upgraded. Non-storefront businesses, stay tuned! |
| Re: Upgrade your Google+ Local page early | Jaxcoffee | 6/7/12 6:02 PM | I do actually have some of my clients come to my home office for my business, which is why I still list my address on my Places page and my Google+ Page. Would that make me eligible? |
| Re: Upgrade your Google+ Local page early | Jade W | 6/7/12 6:25 PM | Oh, ok! Yeah, if clients come to your address, and your address is shown on the listing, that's fine. You're eligible. :) |

| Re: Upgrade your Google+ Local page early | Thomas Harvey | 6/8/12 2:11 PM | Jade, Thanks for offering the opportunity for an early upgrade. I've submitted our pages (Car Dealerships) for inclusion in the early upgrade. All of the pages have Google place accounts and actively updated Google + business pages. Let me know i |

| Re: Upgrade your Google+ Local page early | Linda Buquet ~ | 6/9/12 3:54 PM | tree safe, currently the option is only for storefront businesses, service area businesses that go out to customers are not eligible. Even if they were, you could not apply by posting in this thread. You would need to fill out the form Jade links to |
| Re: Upgrade your Google+ Local page early | duanermb | 6/10/12 10:29 AM | Might as well give the early upgrade a try. Our place page has completely disappeared anyway, along with all of our info and reviews. That un-editable, information-less listing appeared a few days ago.So maybe this will help bring it back! |
| Re: Upgrade your Google+ Local page early | Flash (RER) | 6/10/12 10:41 AM | @duanermb - I think you'll need to get your Places page working first, otherwise there is nothing to upgrade. You should start a new thread and make sure it has all the information requested so people can help you out. |
| Re: Upgrade your Google+ Local page early | minhsnguyen | 6/14/12 8:35 AM | How will this affect businesses with many storefronts such as Best Buy? Will there be an overall encompassing dashboard or will businesses simply have to manage each location? |
| Re: Upgrade your Google+ Local page early | treebles | 6/14/12 9:40 AM | Businesses with multiple locations, like Best Buy, are already managing their multiple locations from the Places Dashboard using the Bulk Upload feature for Google Places. Unless Google changes the management interface of local listings, they will co |

| Re: Upgrade your Google+ Local page early | treebles | 6/14/12 1:53 PM | For countries where Places is not available you could use Google Map Maker, if available in your country, to add your business as a point of interest. This article describes how to add a business on Map Maker. Google should create an unverified Local |

| Re: Upgrade your Google+ Local page early | Jaxcoffee | 6/15/12 6:42 AM | @Redding Reviews, Seem that those who do not have a store front business, and do not meet clients at their location are not eligible for the early merge testing.
