·         If you know anything about the local finder then you will be aware about the listings stating permanently closed. Well Google has swept the floor with their broom stick and know the searches will be free from all the closed listings. Earlier this year Google removed all the permanently closed listings from the Local Finder.
·         In spite of updating the Google plus in 2015, the older and the classic version of the platform was still accessible to the people and the businesses, however now it has got a full stop from Google as it has removed the ability to access your very own classic version of the Google plus.
