Big G: Coming to a store window near you

Google is taking a very close look at the local ad market.  Google logo stickers and a QR code were sent to 100,000 popular businesses in Google’s Local Business Center database, and starting this week consumers can use code-scanning apps on smart phones to look up the Google listing for that particular merchant. The stickers will be displayed front & center at participating stores.df54sqzp_222gkbtn8f7_b_270x375
