Google has made several updates to Google Business Profile (formally Google My Business) listings recently. An update to Google Insights now means you can see what keywords people are using to find your business. Per Google, these queries are “The most popular queries for your business by unique users.”

Google Adds Call Buttons to Posts

Another upgrade: Google is now allowing you to add a “Call Now” button as the call-to-action on a Google Post. Previously, it only allowed you to add a link to a page on your website.
