Google my business adds services for all types of businesses

In order to add services to your business in Google Maps or Google Search, you had to be a restaurant to access this feature. But Google enabled this feature for all types of businesses! Until now only restaurants could edit their menu the way the wanted, without having to follow the suggestions made by Google My Business.

What is the difference between attributes and the editable information on Google my Business?

Attributes are complementary informations about your business suggested by Google My Business (these attributes vary depending on the type of business and the country you’re active in). Those attributes aren’t mandatory, one can decide to show these attributes or not. Before the development of the menu for restaurants, this was the only way to provide your audience with more detailed information about your business.

Most Attributes can be recognized by the following icon , for example: 

– Accessibility
– Specific information for restaurants/hotels (Wi-Fi, terrasse with tables…)
– Payment methods
– Proposed services
– …

Other information can be edited were you see the following sign

– URL to import your menu/ list of services
– URL to directly order from your website
– URL to book a table
– …

Here you can see the suggestions of Google for the attribute ‘payment methods’ within the GMB Dashboard
