If you are a business owner, you can upload more photos via the Local Business Center.

Yea, I thought that was a good strategy having business owners upload their own pictures, instead of trying to just license pictures of everything. If google can get business owners engaged they could have a fairly comprehensive, and updated set of pictures.

Was just there and uploaded pics for my two businesses.

They haven't shown up online yet though.

On a related note, I noticed that Local Business Center now shows how many impressions your business has had over the past 30 days. Is that new?

This seems to work only in English.

Tony > yes it's new, but you can see it only if you have entered the PIN Number requiered :-/
