Looking up a business or place of interest in Google search or Google Maps is an everyday task for many of us. Businesses want to be found so it is in their interest to ensure that their data such as address, opening hours, photos, etc is the most up to date it can be. Customers can provide reviews which in turn provides the largest crowd-sourced place model & data of the real world. Thanks to the Googles Places API, Firstname have direct access to this data and utilise it for extracting business detail & location for use in various geospatial locations. There are a few secrets on how to effectively use Google Places data, which we can share with you.
