Outrank com Applauds End to Unmonitored Community Editing on Google Maps
Online, June 10, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Google Maps made an important change to their local business community mapping system last week, limiting the ability of competitors and other users to make community edits to unclaimed existing listings on its mapping platform without review by a Google team member.
We applaud this move by Google to help restrict the opportunity for misinformation in the Google Maps platform, said David Rubin, CEO of Outrank.com . We work hard to have our clients represented properly on Google Maps as part of our online local marketing efforts, so the quality and usefulness of the listings system is important.
Outrank.com uses Google Maps to help companies easily reach potential customers in a locally-oriented interface. As more people use the Internet to look for local businesses, Outrank.com believes that a targeted strategy to connect with receptive searchers is essential.
Since we make sure our customers' listings are properly claimed, our hard work to get local companies ranked on the front page of the search engines is protected,Rubin said. It is our belief that Google will continue to adapt technologies that further strengthen the visibility of legitimate local businesses.
