This enables users to get accurate searches in a hassle-free way. And the search results are in accordance to the overall popularity of searches by other online users.

Now, what’s even more great about this feature is it has been localized recently. This means that when you begin to key in a specific keyword, the suggestions that you see are now geared towards your exact location.

If before these were made specific to a country, now they are by city. For example, if you are in San Francisco and you are trying to type the keyword [ bart ], it doesn’t probably pertains to Bart Simpson; it’s probably Bay Area Rapid Transit and you may be able to pick searches for bart map, bart schedule, bart.gov (to name just a few).

Aside from it is being localized, Google Suggest has now improved spell correction for names and auto-correction for 31 languages. People often search for people’s names – and not just on celebrities or people they may know.

They also look for doctors, dog trainers, tai chi instructors etc. However, as people search, misspelled names are very common. Now, Google has developed a technology based on the concept that people often know something else about the person they’re searching aside from the approximate spelling of his name.

Online users nowadays often include other terms such as “tai chi trainer los angeles” or “estate property lawyer riverside.” From this, it provides valuable context to help Google Suggest narrow the range of possibilities for the spelling correction.

Furthermore, Google has expanded auto-correction to 31 languages across over 180 domains, with more to come. Overall, you can now feel at home with Google Suggest.

Since millions of people have been using Google in searching places around the world, Place Pages were created to help people decide on where to go from hotels and restaurants to fitness clubs and auto shops as well as non-business places like schools, parks and museums.

This latest feature of Google serves as the connecting link for businesses and their clients. Those local merchants that have already claimed their “place page” on Google Maps need not worry about starting all over again.

Business owners that have already established themselves just have to claim their listing page from the former Local Business Center and add information, photos, menus, and the like.

Basically, it’s just a name change along with some additional feature. Business owners can now specify things on their place page by setting up geographic area where they serve.

This is very useful for mobile businesses like food delivery. Also, they can get a custom code that mobile phone users can scan for a link to their place page.

So far, four million businesses have already claimed their Place Page on Google through the Local Business Center, 1 out of 5 searches on Google are related to location.

This compelled Google to further develop this tool to make certain that businesses are able to be found and put their best foot forward on the web.

Overall, Google Places will continue to offer these similar tools, but the new name will simplify the connection with Place Pages. Indeed, Google is more than willing to continually commit in providing business owners powerful yet easy-to-use tools and help them reach the peak of success.
