Google+ 7 Packs

[CsmBill]

Are the 7 packs representative of Google+ business listings or Google + Places listings? This is making my head hurt..

[WesleySmits]

Google+ places listings are the same as Google+ business listings as far as i know. But the 7-packs are businesses listed in Google Places/Google+ local sorted by relevance(in Google's eyes).

Hi Rahul,

Google has done a very poor job of being clear in their terminology. The pack listing you see in Google stem from either the Google Places for Business Dashboard or the Google+ Local Dashboard. Some business listings also link to a business' Google+ page which is a social page instead of a local page.

Don't feel alone - so many people are totally confused by this!
