Hi,
Google+ Local (formally Google Place or Places for Business) does not have a guideline in the Google Places Guidelines for the Business Description. We know the limit is 200, that you should not keyword stuff and it should be readable. This is if you have the old dashboard as we still do.
Any guidelines we have learned about the Business Description have been from Google and Your Business Forum and people we consider experts in local search. For example; at one time you were not to use the same keyword or phrase that was in a custom category in your business description. Is there a guideline published as to what you can and can't do with your Google+ Local Business Description?
None of the listing we manage have updated to the new dashboard. We are starting to wonder if we will ever see it. When we make any changes in the old dashboard, such as adding new photos, they never update. Is the old dashboard still working?
Also, please let us know if you or your clients have the new dashboard.
Thanks!
Susan
