Google Tests Local Ads on Maps - Starwood and Interncontinental chains participating
Clickz.com reports: "Google is experimenting with plotting local advertisers' locations on its Maps product, giving marketers a visual and spatial accompaniment to their locally targeted ads."
This is a great functionality - so far it has been reported that the Starwood and Intercontinental brands are participating in testing.
Try it out for yourself:
Visit Google Local and search for "hotels" in/near New York (Link)
This will give you a list of hotels in the area with positional markers..clicking on the markers gives you more information about the hotel. Logos may also be included in the future, by Google.
