Google Places URL shortener
At last, Google have made it possible to easily produce a shortened form of the Google Places page url.
Nyagoslav at OptiLocal has alerted me to the fact that, instead of
it is now possible to create a shortened form of that url to give to other people.
Click on the map that is situated to the right of the required Google Places page and in the top right hand corner, you will see a chain link. December 2011 Update – Google have now moved this chain link to the top of the left hand sidebar
Click that and you have the option to create a short ‘goo’ link that you can save and use for anyone that you would like to direct to your Places Page
Sorted!
Lollipop Local Google Places Page via Google URL shortener
I have been waiting for this for some months now. It’s going to make it much easier to send satisfied customers in the direction of your Google Places page when they ask where they can leave a positive testimonial.
I really hope that this is one of the Google Places changes that sticks around.

Hi Jo
I have been using the link shortener in Places for quite sometime so I dont think its that new…….although It may have disappeared at some point. I think Linda Buquet blogged on it no so long back.

Hey Gav, I have a WordPress plugin that recycles some of my older posts but I thought I would let this stand because the shortener disappeared and then came back in a different place. It never hurts to update and correct old info which is why the plugin is so valuable
