This new feature should help advertisers decrease the amount of ad disapprovals they get when item specifics in ads don\u2019t match site and inventory data. Participants of the beta have seen a 50% reduction in price related item disapprovals. Advertisers should note that this feature will only work with the use of schema.org microdata on their sites.<\/p>\n Source: Search Engine Land<\/a><\/p>\n An anti-Google consortium known as \u201cFocus on the User\u201d have launched a campaign that argues against Google+ Local search results.
