Google Maps Adds Descriptive Phrases

By June 23, 2011 6 Comments

Google MapsGoogle has announced that listings in Google Maps will now include descriptive phrases associated with the listing.

“Google Maps search results in the U.S. and Great Britain will include some of the phrases which are most frequently used to describe those places. These phrases come from sources all across the web, such as reviews, web pages and other online references, and they can help people quickly identify the characteristics that make a particular place unique.”

Say you are moving to a new city and looking for a Christian school at which to enroll your children.  Now, you can see some additional descriptive phrases about some of those schools as you can see in the listing below:

Google Maps Descriptive Terms

In the listing above, you can see they have the descriptive terms, “small class size”, “Christian education”, “Christ centered education”, “junior high”, and “academic programs”.  Not a bad set of descriptions.

After doing several searches, it seems that either Google is slowly rolling this out to the Google Maps listings or there are certain criteria which must be met for a listing to receive the new feature as most of the listings I saw did not have descriptive terms.

You can see the official announcement here:

Do you think they are helpful?
