New Free Tool from BrightLocal

[JoyHawkins]

Hey Guys,

I wanted to let you know that BrightLocal, one of of our forum's sponsors, *just* came out with another free tool that allows you to get the different Google IDs for any local business that exists in the Google Maps API (so it does not include Service Area Businesses).

Check it out here and let us know what you think.

Great new tool, @Myles Anderson and BrightLocal!

This is an amazing tool!!!

Simple and fast. I'd been using another tool sort of similar to this but this seems better/faster.

Thanks @j_holtslander @AnnGuarantee @Tim Colling and @JoyHawkins

We've refined the tool so it works with a lot more countries now so it should be useful to almost everyone.

We hope to announce another free tool in the coming weeks so watch this space!

I like it as well as the explanations of each ID number regarding what it means. Will be testing service area business.

Once you have The CID and Place ID you can also create a Google Questions link.

I dare say you can automate it a lot better ;-)

Personally I'd like to see an easy way to completely disable Q&A.
