Problems in the Google Local Business Center: Waiting For Next Update

Setting up your account and incorporating business locations is really easy, that is, if it’s only a few.
What is the real happening when you are adding multiple listings using the bulk-upload method? According to me this is the ideal method. It is really really fast, it tells you which fault to correct (if any) and you see your business listings materialize in a tick. Awaiting for approval (takes up 2-6 weeks or even more).
So what’s the problem? Well, we want to flavor it up a bit. Add some pictures & videos. But where is the bulk upload feature for this thing? I want to have a branded icon or my company logo added to all the 200 listings I just uploaded using the bulk-upload feature. Impossible! So at the very next moment you are busy doing hard labour work, manually adding images and videos per business location using an almost antique photo upload system. It might be good to disburse some awareness to the local business center.
You can just add some fields to the upload form with img src destinations to be used.
Instead of adding new features, try to improve the ones that already exist. Speaking of which, when is that category updating coming in Europe?
So hereby, I’m compiling a list of features I would like to see or updated in the Local Business Center.
the list of updates:
• category update (in Europe!)
• Interface redesign / usability upgrade
• Photo upload form
• Bulk-upload photos / videos
• statistics (define impressions / views ) , integrate with Google Analytics!
• insight in (trusted) sources used to gather my information (so I can contact them if something is wrong/missing or incomplete! )
• history on status of business listing (pending, awaiting approval, flagged, awaiting next update, marked as inappropriate, etc )
Feel free to leave a comment if you think something is missing!
