With today’s release of Google Maps 6.7 for Android in the U.S., you can see all the Google Offers near you in list or map form, making it easy to get great deals from local businesses on the go.

Now, even more great deals are just around the corner
The next time you’re looking for things to do or places to eat nearby, open Google Maps for Android and see if there’s an offer nearby. Tap “Maps” to open the dropdown menu and then tap “Offers” to see offers on your map. You’ll see all the businesses offering deals near your current location, marked with the blue Google Offers “tag.” You can also view these offers in a list and choose to get notifications for offers nearby, so you’ll never miss a great deal.

Browse the available offers in maps or in “results list” and get notifications for offers nearby.

Super simple savings on the go
If an offer catches your eye, click on it to learn more. You’ll see offers that can be purchased for later use and offers that can be used instantly for free. For these offers, just tap “Use now” if you’re ready to redeem, then show it to the nice person behind the counter when you’re ready to check out.

If you’re not ready to use your offer, just press “Save for later.”

All of your saved or purchased offers can be found in the “My Offers” section of Google Maps for Android, or on the Google Offers homepage.

AdWords API v201109_1 – new AdWords features available more quickly in dot release and beta program

Increase your business with more online customers with help from SEO Consultants London.

In an effort to make more features available faster to AdWords API users, we’re launching AdWords API v201109_1, a dot release which includes services to help API users incorporate some recent AdWords web interface launches into their applications. New features include:

  • Keyword match properties NEAR_EXACT and NEAR_PHRASE, which allow API users to opt in/out of these match types.
  • LocationSyncExtension and the reports download service now have OAuth 1.0 support, bringing these services in line with others in the API.

As part of this dot release, we are also launching a few other features that will be available through an invitation-only beta. Similar to beta programs for the AdWords interface, the goal of this beta is to give developers earlier access to specific features, allowing us to incorporate feedback more quickly and innovate more effectively.

Moving forward, we will use dot releases to launch AdWords features more quickly. AdWords API v201109_1 does not start the sunset on prior versions, so you do not need to upgrade immediately. 

Complete release notes are available here. If you have any questions about these changes please reach out to us in the forum or during one of our office hours via Google+ Hangouts.
