Google My Business Subscription Cash

Google is now trying a subscription billing model for Google My Business, something Google has explored doing in the past, and is now actively pursuing. Google sent Tom Waddington an email asking him to "upgrade" his business profile for $50 a month.

This is still early, so it is hard to know if the $50 per month will have any return on investment.
