Impressions on Google Places
Google Places (formerly Local Business Center) was renamed in late April 2010. With this change came the addition of page statistics.
What does that mean?
That means you can now know the number of impressions (number of times users saw your business listing in local search results) and number of actions (number of times users clicked on “more info” in Maps or clicked on your website link) your business listing is receiving. The statistics also show what queries were used to trigger your business listing in the search results.
Is your company listed yet?
