      I haven't found any documentation on this - curious if anyone's noticed that Google+ Local Listings (i.e. brick-n-mortar shops) don't have access to a Links section like a "brand" page might? Seems strange not to let them link out to their social media assets while Coke and Ford have that privilege.

      I wonder why?

      Thanks!

        Hi!

        Yeah, it would be great but I guess they have their reasons.

        This never became a problem for me though as I would just insert the links into the Contact Information area. It's moderated but they aren't really strict

          Hi Perfect Pitch Concepts,

          I'm so sorry your question hasn't received a reply. Looks like no one may have noticed this about Google+ Local vs Brand pages. You're supposed to be able to link out from the description with rich text, but my understanding is that it can take longer to get verified if you do.

          Now, with the launch of the new Google My Buisiness, who knows! Google is definitely narrowing the gap between Local and Social page types, so I expect all kinds of changes to be going on with things just like this.
