Google Maps has played an important role in supporting local businesses. It undoubtedly creates a synergy between the client and the business.
The business is always interested in improving their rating by providing superior service and the customer is always searching for the best places to visit.
Local businesses get to be on the same playing field with the bigger chains and thanks to Google Maps, actually have a chance to grow as opposed to being overlooked and overshadowed.
On my spare time, I like to explore throughout the city and find hidden gems, hole in the wall places. Not necessarily out of sympathy or size, but because these places have charm that is unique and special. The atmosphere of these place reflects the creativity and drive of the owners and always makes you feel welcome.
Google Maps helps me discover these places better and faster than ever before. In the past I had to rely on word of mouth or time consuming directories.
I can’t wait to see what I will discover next!
