Google Places Adds more than 1,000 new categories for International Business Listings
In an announcement made on a discussion forum thread from Google Business Community Manager , Jade Wang, Google has added a significant amount of new business categories available to companies outside the United States.
"Based on feedback from dealer, we have been working to improve the business categories . One of the key areas that we thought we could improve quickly is expanding the breadth of categories available worldwide . "
More than 1,000 new categories have been added to the Places panel for companies around the world and translated into all languages Google supports .
If you wonder why there has always been so many categories available for U.S. companies , but very few available for international companies , Jade goes on to explain why. It had to do with the translation and support:
" Imagine you are planning a trip to Greece. When looking for the U.S., it is likely that English is used , and see the categories of Greek English companies. Yet those companies established in Greece in Greek probably using places for Business in Greek. places this means for business people have to translate and associate categories in many languages. As you can imagine , this can become very complicated very quickly. "
This is great news for owners of international business. Jade reminds everyone that Google is listening to all traders who give feedback. So if you have any comments regarding this , or any other aspect of Google Places for business, make sure to give it to them . They are listening !
