"Describe your business with custom attributes: details matter. In addition to common pieces of information like store hours and accepted payment types, you can include custom information specific to your business. For example, a gelateria could include a list of all the flavors it offers. Track your stats: when it comes to knowing how your listing is working for you, there's nothing like statistics. And now, when you login to Local Business Center you can see the number of impressions your listing has received over the last 30 days," Daniel Z. from the Google Maps team sustained on the official blog of the company.
The product was also improved with more control over the marker provided by Google Maps, allowing you to specify your location with more precision. Google created a "Fix incorrect marker location" feature able to allow you to find your address by using a simple drag and drop function to move the marker. "If you find that your location on the map isn't exactly right, you can now fix it. When creating or editing your listing, click "Fix incorrect marker location," and simply drag your map marker to your business's exact location," the Google employee added.
