Hi all,
I've done a little digging into some UK GMB pages in reference to tomorrows rollout.
Here's the map pack for the term 'plumbers rugby' from 17th July - every listing has a direct connection to a Google Plus page:
<small><small>(Apologies for image quality!)</small></small>
As of 27th July, this is the map pack:
Notice that:
What strikes me as odd is that 'J Myatt Heating & Plumbing' still appears as normal despite it being an unclaimed, unverified page.
I've backed up the links here: G+, Gmaps. Interested in seeing what happens to this one in particular tomorrow.
My theory...
...is that these changes took place on the other two listings as Google could associate a website URL with them and therefore could delete the G+ page whilst still keeping the businesses listed in the map pack.
Google does not associate a website URL with J Myatt and therefore cannot make the same changes.
Interested in hearing your thoughts,

As of 27th July, this is the map pack:
Notice that:
- The Google plus links for 'C Gregory' and 'Greenmarket Heating' have disappeared
- The G+ pages for these are also completely gone
- Cannot get to these through the review link in maps or through Whitespark's G+ shortcut
- Cannot get to these through the review link in maps or through Whitespark's G+ shortcut
- The G+ pages for these are also completely gone
- However they still appear in Google Maps & the map pack
- The map pack link goes straight to the website
- I can confirm these were initially unclaimed, unverified pages
