Sponsored Links on Google Maps

Something I hadn’t really noticed before was that Google added sponsored links to its Google Maps product.
This is a great way for businesses to even more visibility and, of course, another great resource for Google to generate more revenue.

It was only a matter of time. Makes so much sense. Are these ads on mobile yet? I’d love to recive discounts for restaurants when I’m searching on my phone.

I completely agree, Ari.
I’m really surprised it’s taken them so long to actually get this into production.
I expect Google Earth and Google Maps Mobile to be the next move.
I would love to get discounts too, so hopefully it will be ready and available sooner than later.
