The latest feature update aims to streamline options to help businesses manage their profiles.

The latest feature update aims to streamline options to help businesses manage their profiles. There are improvements to service listings, booking options and product scanning for those who love using Google’s Shopping tools.


Local services:


If you’re a small business providing services within the local area, you now have the option to edit your profile to update services offered and the local areas you service. For example, if you are running a beauty business, you can break it down into specialist areas such as eyelash extensions or if you are an electrician, you may focus on specific services within the industry like solar maintenance.


Restaurants can enable online booking directly from search, via Google’s reserve partners service. Food ordering online is a growth area and one that is probably here to stay with the omnipresent threat of snap lockdowns and people’s habits changing.


So in summary the changes Ipswich small businesses can now implement in an easier way include,



  1. Easier way to display your individual services
  2. Hospitality: Accept takeaway and delivery orders via partner platform


You can learn more about upcoming services straight from the
Google Blog
