Google Offers recently went through some drastic changes. Here are some key differences between Google Offers now and before the update:

• Business owners must clearly identify the amount of the discount (percentage or dollars off).

• The offer can be limited to a single use (per user).

• The offer can be limited to a certain quantity usage.

• The discount is currently applied to all locations in a Google Places account (we speculate this could change).

• Google Offers is no longer free to use. Currently there is a limited time free trial period, however business owners will be notified about pricing details before the trial period concludes.

• Business owners can now track the total number of offers that have been saved and how many have been redeemed through their Google Places account.

• Google Offers is now distributed through Google Maps for Android in addition to Google Offers and Wallet mobile apps – this means Offers are only visible from a mobile device in apps like Google Maps for Android and Google Places.
