Google Maps will start showing social media updates from your favorite businesses thanks to a new feature - here's how it works.
Google Maps can do more than just help you reach your next destination. It can help you discover nearby attractions and more details about your favorite places. Common examples include business hours and contact information. You also have access to plenty of user-generated content, including reviews and photos, which can come in handy. At times, it might seem like it's too much information, sure. But that information is only there if you decide to engage with a business.
Once the process is complete, Google Search and Google Maps listing for that Business Profile will show the latest posts from the company's social channels in a new tab called 'Social media updates.' Regular users don't have to do anything to see the social media updates in Google Maps. They just have to wait for Google Business Profiles to support the feature in their area, and for local companies to take advantage of it. The tab will appear under the reviews section.
