If you’re a regular reader of the CAWOOD blog (and really, who isn’t?), you’ll recall us reminding you to claim and optimize your business’ Google Places page. And if you haven’t already, it’s time to do the same on Bing.
Bing recently updated its Bing Business Portal to Bing Places for business. What does this mean, exactly? At this point, not much, but it is an indication that Bing has local search on its radar. With the launch, Bing stated, “The launch of Bing Places for business is the first of many steps in our effort to provide you with all the tools you need to easily and quickly find local customers online.”
In terms of the platform’s functionality, business owners no longer have the option of creating deals, coupons, QR codes and mobile sites. Bing also removed the ability to create and print collateral for your business.
Stay tuned for more changes.
