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.
 

✨ AI Highlights

The thread announces Google Boost, a new paid advertising feature accessible through Google Places that allows car dealers to run location-based ads (15-20 mile radius) with customer ratings and review stars displayed. Users discuss setup requirements (needing both AdWords and Google Places accounts), mention a potential $100 promotional credit, and note that Boost is distinct from AdWords Ad Extensions, with results varying by industry. The key insight is that Google Boost represents a new hybrid advertising option combining local business listings with paid promotion and social proof elements like star ratings.
