Google+ Local Place Page Updates

Today brings many updates to Google+, and here I take a look at the changes that have been made to Google+ Local Place Pages.


What's Changed?

The first thing you will notice if you visit a Place Page that hasn't yet added a cover image is a huge map showing the location of that page. This can easily be changed by uploading a cover image, but I personally think it looks great!

The other changes include the repositioning of the review and favourite buttons. The rest of the page below this remains the same, however.
The 'Favourite' button is still a couple of pixels out of line - fix this please Google!
So overall the changes help to bring Place Pages in-line with all the other updates we have seen today and hopefully this was encourage more businesses to claim their places and update their profiles.
