Google Expands Detailed Review Questions On Local Listings
Briefly

Google has enhanced its survey-style review questionnaire for local businesses, particularly restaurants, by adding new review attributes that allow users to include details like wait times, noise levels, group size suitability, and seating options. Claudia Tomina highlighted the potential impact of these new attributes in her posts on social media platforms. The expansion of these choices aims to enrich the data Google collects and improve the Ask Maps feature, ultimately aiding consumers in making more informed decisions when choosing local dining options.
Google just dropped new review attributes for customers leaving reviews. Could they directly influence Ask Maps questions? This expansion could significantly enhance user insights.
Now, users can share: Wait times, Noise level, Group size suitability and Seating options. Providing more choices is expected to enrich the data Google collects.
More options mean more data feeding into preset Ask Maps questions. This can help other users make informed decisions based on detailed attributes.
Some review attributes have always been there but expanding the variety allows for a more granular understanding of local businesses.
