Google has unveiled a new feature which makes it easier for business owners to manage their Google listing right from the search results on desktop and on mobile. Previously, site owners would have to login to their Google My Business account to make changes to their listing including updating address info, contact info, and hours of operation as an example.

Mobile services are also on the rise with pet groomers, pop up shops and even dentists willing to travel to your home or business to deliver their goods.  

As such, it’s right for small businesses to be worried about the rise of on-demand services. Remember Blockbuster? Gone are the days of going to the video rental chain and perusing titles to choose what you’re going to spend the weekend watching. Netflix made it easier and more convenient.
