Google Local Search Places People Are Talking About
Briefly

Google is currently testing a new local search feature named "Places people are talking about" that integrates social media content, highlighting local restaurants through a carousel of Instagram and Facebook posts. This innovation aims to provide users with real-time insights on popular dining spots based on social media activity, allowing for a more interactive and up-to-date exploration of local culinary options.
This new feature might be reminiscent of Google’s previous ‘What people are saying’ videos, yet it marks a distinct shift towards localized content. By curating social media posts and videos from users, Google enhances user engagement and empowers users with a dynamic timeline of local trends, thereby making the discovery process of local eateries more vibrant and impactful.
