Google Maps adds products nearby for product searches

Google Maps now will show you products from nearby stores if you search Google Maps for product related queries. Google wrote, “Now, you can search in Google Maps for items like pickleball rackets, board games, ice cream makers and more to find nearby stores that have them in stock so you can pick up what you need, stat.”

What it looks like. Here is a screenshot of the new “Products nearby” section within Google Maps:

Google Maps Products Nearby

How it works. GoogleMaps lets you search for items and find nearby stores selling them. Simply open Google Maps, enter the item name in the search bar, select a store from the results, and get directions to pick it up. Inventory includes home goods, electronics, apparel and items from grocery stores.

Here is a video of it in action:

Why we care. If you sell product, using Google Merchant Center and product feeds can help you get business directly from Google Maps. Your products will not just show up in Google Search and Google Shopping but now also in Google Maps.

Top 10 Things to do Before the Spiders come

1: Check the Title Tags. In our opinion, creating great title tags can be one of the most valuable ways to help increase your SEO. Make sure you have relevant, keyword-rich title tags for each page you create. This will make it easy for web browsers to search and display your website. 2: If you have a flash introduction, be sure there is a link that allows you to pass it. Many webpages have a fancy splash page, but no way to navigate around it. Google cannot read into a flash page, so be sure to include a text link to your website’s second index. Overall this type of intro can add to your site's visual appeal, but don't let it ruin your opportunity to get indexed quickly. 3: Don't forget to check the META Tags.
