Where is Google Places reported in Google Analytics?

I don't believe it's maps.google.com/referral as Google Places and Google Maps are separate.

google.com/referral include Google Groups posts, Google Reader, and Google image search.

    Hey Alex, what exactly do you mean by where it is reported? Do you mean how to see how much traffic is going to your site via Google Places?

    It isn't. Places has it's own dashboard. How could Analytics track a Places listing, there is not tracking code in it you control.

      Yes, it has its own dashboard with all tracking stats... But I am sure someone clever enough can develop a plugin that can help you integrate your analytics with google places, but there is not a lot of point really, as if you want to know just the traffic from google places, its easier just to check the designated dashboard for it

        If this is the case, then there is no way of determining the # of conversions that occur from someone clicking on your Places listing.

        Does this also mean that there is a gap in Google Analytics when it tracks traffic?

        It's like the golden snitch of conversions and no one has any idea on how well their Places page converts?
