Hi guys,

Google newbie here so please don't shoot me down on my first post.

I'm getting really confused with where I should be listing a business on Google. I've created business pages on Google+ but they're not showing on any searches. How long should this take? Also, is this the right place to create a listing to show in the "7-pack" or do I still have to go to Google Places (I thought that was now defunct)?

Any help much appreciated!

Hey Tim, welcome.

Don't worry we'd never shoot you down. Google has everyone confused. :p

Google Places is still around and that's where you go to create a business listing to show in search - ie 7 pack. So Google still calls the business owner side and dashboard Google Places.

The public side of the page is now called Google+ Local and it's half way upgraded to G+.

Right now you manage your Google Place page in the dashboard and your G+ Business page separately. In a while Google will be merging everything together.

Here are some of the best resources to read more.
