Google Launches New Features to Promote Small Businesses
In addition to the AI generative AI tools, Google has introduced a set of fresh features aimed at supporting and promoting small businesses, providing them with increased visibility in the digital marketplace.
Like the AI generative tools, these new additions are set to empower small retailers and help them stand out in the competitive online sphere.
Starting from November 1, small-scale retailers can now signify their business as a “small business” on Google Search and Google Maps. This identification will be displayed through a “small business” label on the products listed on Google Search and on the business information showcased on Google Maps. This move is intended to simplify the shopping experience for customers, allowing them to easily identify and support small businesses during their online searches.
Furthermore, Google has announced an update to the knowledge panel, enhancing the information displayed during retailer searches. Apart from the traditional details such as business location and the number of employees, the knowledge panel will now feature additional shopping information, including ongoing deals, shipping and return policies, customer service details, and ratings and reviews. This comprehensive showcase of information aims to provide customers with a holistic understanding of the businesses they are interested in and facilitate informed decision-making during their shopping experience.
Matt Madrigal, VP and GM of merchant shopping at Google, emphasized the importance of these new features, particularly during the bustling holiday shopping season.
“The holidays are one of the biggest opportunities for merchants to connect with new shoppers – so showing up strong and authentic to your brand is key shopping. This year, we’re introducing new features to help you stand out to customers, just in time for the busy holiday shopping season,” said he.
