Hotels on Google maps - No mint on your pillow with this room
service
Today Google announced its movement into hospitality
listings by testing a new feature on Google Maps that shows
individual hotel prices. This move is likely to be welcomed by
hoteliers across the industry.
This has only been provided on the Google.com and only for
"small portion of users". The listings also only show a "limited
number of advertisers that have agreed to give pricing
information".
So what does this mean for Estate Agents?
Taking this one step further, surely there is no reason why
Google maps cannot place letting information on Google Maps instead
of just sales?
Lettings are less permanent than hotel prices but many will
argue that the technology is there for Google to make themselves
the central resource for... well everything.
