Google Places only for business online? Correct or not?

[pompero99]

Hi everybody, today i saw something in google when i searched "Blablacar", a company social to share places in cars. I saw, they are in google places, that is a correct way? What does google think about this?

Thanks so much.

Hi Pompero99,

I believe you're asking if it's okay for non-local businesses to have Google+ Local pages. The answer is no. In order to be eligible for a Google+ Local page a business must:

1. Make in-person contact with its customers

2. Have a physical street address

3. Have a local phone number

If a business can't say 'yes' to all 3 points, then it does not qualify.

If I've misunderstood your question, please let me know.
