Google Showcases Small Business Attribute

Google has added new details to Google Business Profiles listings. Google added a new business attribute named “small business” that will show up on a business’s Google Maps and local listing. Google will show a small business icon and label in your Google local search results.

When searching Google Maps, local listings, and shopping search, you will notice an icon denoting small businesses. The image helps distinguish small business owners, who should feel free to edit their Google Business Profile (formerly known as Google My Business). Google has stated that it also intends to showcase other shopping information like current deals, shipping and return policies, customer service information, and ratings/reviews.
