Google Search now with map links?

[CHR]

I noticed this morning that Google is displaying map links beneath some florist sites in searches for both general and local terms. Can't yet figure out a pattern as to who gets a map link and who doesn't.

In 'florist', see the map link under Ariston? There are more sites with map links on the next page, too.

A truly interesting development. Some B&M OGs may have Google displaying their real locations in natural search results. :> But - consumers might think a real B&M is an OG when a map link isn't displayed.

Is anyone else seeing this?

I noticed that also today. Infact I am the only one with a map link currently under the search or Florist Newport News, VA. I am puzzled as to the pattern also, but I think it is a good thing to have one. Customers will be able to see exactly where your shop is located.

If you have already verified your listing with google you will get a link. It looks like it is till rolling out.

I hope i get one...

I like Google better for aerial views. My house and shop/greenhouses show up better.

I know this is a bit off topic.....
