Web 201: Google Knows Your Business

by Lily Bradic

This week in Web 201, we’ll be discussing a new app that all Google+ Page managers need on their smartphone. 

If you’ve tried the Facebook Pages Manager app, you can be forgiven for not getting excited. Rest assured, this one is much better. It’s called Google My Business, and was announced for iOS and Android last week. Already, it seems less buggy and more user-friendly than Facebook's Pages Manager  —  although that's not exactly difficult.

It seems Google is really starting to pay attention to what small business need and want. The app ties in with the new Google My Business service, which essentially it easier for local business and brands to manage their G+ page and be found on Google.
