Guide on how to transition you Google places listing to Google plus Places

[photoseo1]

I was wondering if anyone had a guide on how to transition your existing Google Places listing to the Google Plus local. I have a Google plus places listing for my business already and don't want to loose my reviews on my Google Local listing.

I didn't think you had to transition anything manually. But clarification around this topic would be great.

I am looking for clarification as well. It seemed to me that you needed to go and claim you google local listing via google plus to properly transition your reviews and information correctly.

Hi Everybody, I empathize. Local is going through a major sea change right now and lots of business owners are really confused. I highly recommend that you read Mike Blumenthal's terrific step-by-step transitional guide: http://blumenthals.com/blog/2012/06/08/google-for-business-places-forums-wrapup/ I think you will find your questions answered by a careful read of that. Please, let me know if you don't feel you understand anything. Cheers! Miriam
