Answer questions about your inventory

Google may ask quick yes or no questions about the products you sell in your store. The questions appear when you tap the “Products” icon in your Business Profile in the Google Maps app.

When you update Google with information about the brands and product categories you offer, users who search for those items in your area can more easily find your business.
