Google Starts Shutting Down Its City Pages, Shifts To Google+ Local

What’s unclear is the impact — if any — that the change is having on Google’s physical presence in each city. A Google spokesperson told Mike Blumenthal yesterday that “Community Managers are still working with local businesses in a variety of cities around the world,” but there are signs that not all cities are still active in this aspect of Google’s local efforts. For example, the Google+ Local team in Portland is still very active on Twitter and on its new Google+ Local Page , but the original San Diego community manager is now a former Google Places Community Manager . The Google San Diego Twitter account hasn’t posted in more than a year, and there’s no San Diego page that I can find in Google+ Local.

Don't fret if you can't find your Google Place Page. They're still around - sort of - in another form [link]
