It’s another Google riddle: What’s local yet keeps moving?
I had a listing on Google “local” and then that became a Google “places” page and now it’s a “Google+” page. I’m sure they’ll change it again soon enough but for now it’s nice to have more integration with reviewers identities. BTW if you are a client that I have worked with in the past… please consider writing a review for me on my business Google+ page.

and is now

In 2012 Google Places pages were completely replaced by new Google+ Local pages.

BTW: Google changed settings, including the “Hide my address” settings. Google local listings can appear in 3 places: in Google Maps, in Google+ and in the organic Google web results. Used to be that you could suppress your address in some listings.
