Google Maps Unveils New Features

New Store Location Feature

Locator Plus Feature 

An extension of the Store Locator Embed Feature … the Locator Plus solution … allows you to keep your store details updated by easily importing business details from your Google Business Profile plus explore, customize, and deploy place-based experiences with just a few clicks. 

That means a change in the business details of your Google Business Profile will be reflected in the store locator on your website. These changes can include hours, contact information, photos, service options, and more. 

Missing Location: You may find that one of your business locations is missing on Google Maps. Here’s a resource if you choose a DIY approach to adding a missing location. 

Reserve with Google Integration Feature 

With the addition of the Reserve with Google embed feature, Google announced that the enhancement delivers “end-to-end appointment booking flow and connects users to a variety of services.” Now, your customers that use your store locator option for bookings may do so within your locator. Result … a smoother, user-friendly booking process. 

This may be more than you want to know, but here’s a resource for you to discuss adding the feature with your web developer and embed the Reserve with Google. 

The addition will permit your customers to experience something new in dealing with you and your product and service offerings. Here’s a brief rundown on the added conveniences of doing business with you.
