Link to Google Places, or Google Maps?

[GravitateMCC]

On our contact page, we offer a link to view Google Maps for directions. I'm wondering should we be linking to our Google Places page instead, or just stick with the Google Map link?

Thanks!

Hello William, Thank you for coming to Q&A with your question, which is a good one! By coincidence, Mike Blumenthal and I just had a conversation regarding this which he eventually turned into a blog post. I think it will be well worth your reading: http://blumenthals.com/blog/2012/01/24/google-places-myth-linking-to-your-places-page/ Definitely read all the comments on it, too. If you have any questions after reading that, please do return. Miriam
