Google Publishes Local Business Center Glossary

Google is trying really hard to educate business owners to validate their business listings in Google Maps. If every business owner did this, it would solve a lot of issues for Google. That being said, Google just announced in a Google Maps Help thread that they released a new glossary named Understanding Your Local Business Center Account.

The glossary has the following 15+ terms defined for people who are new to the Local Business Center:

• Active
• Awaiting next update
• Awaiting verification
• Delete
• Disapproved
• Edit
• Flagged
• Impressions
• Not currently showing
• Processing
• Request another letter
• Suspended
• The PIN you entered is invalid
• Validate by mail
• Validate by phone
• Views
