Is this why is aw options to ad "places" etc. to my adwords? Or is this something different?

I was about to jump on Boost right when my Google Places pages got screwed up. I have them back on board now so I figured it was time for some Boost.

If you are considering on doing the same - give my friend Dennis Stuart over at Google a call and he'll get you set up. 800-838-7969 x 23847. He might have a free $100 voucher if you mention DealerRefresh. or not.

15-20 mile radius for ads.. Not sure how much per click but worth trying.. Clicks and billing in adwords if your doing that for your dealership.. I got the $100 credit Just signed up today.. Thanks Joe

I have seen some good results and some not so good, depending on the industry. You'll need to have an AdWords account as well as a Google Places account to start running the ads but from there it's pretty simple.

The Ad Extensions in AdWords are not the same as Boost but you can pull your GP listings into AdWords via Extensions.

GP Listings = Google Places Listings?

Will that pull the review stars in?

 

[Mitch Gallant]

That looks more like a google tag, boost will pull the stars in Fo-Sho! Google "google boost" and check the images, full of stars and it helps your map listing stand out by making the pin a different colour as well.

Yes, the Boost ads have ratings and stars attached from Google users. Paid Tags for adwords have been discontinued.
