    Has anyone had it done? Did you feel it made any difference? The marketing material obviously shows examples of times it has made a huge difference for some companies but obviously thats its job! I can't say I have ever used business view of a company and never even seen one where I could. Having said that it seems it doesn't cost much to do and it couldn't really do any harm so was thinking of getting it done.

    Anyone got any experience of it all?

    Havent done it myself, but I can see how some businesses would benefit from it, what sort of cost is it?

    One issue I could see would be a retailer who likes to change their layout a lot

    We would fall into that category we change the layout weekly. For 200sqm-ish over 2 floors we have been quoted €400 it wasn't me who dealt with it at the time so not sure if that is ex VAT or not I am assuming it is looking at the general pricing for it. To just to the street level floor would be €300. It seems a bit of a novelty thing really. They are doing another business in the area so are offering it for a little less than they apparently normally would quote.

    at that sort of money it might be worth a shot, google places normal come out top on SERPs so I can imagine google will reward those with business view as well

    Thats what I was thinking alright. At that sort of one off price even if it only makes a slight improvement on rankings its not the end of the world.
