We’ve seen Google test showing Google Discover on the desktop home page for years now but Google has now confirmed it will be bringing Discover to its desktop Google.com home page in the future. When that will happen exactly, I don’t know, but Google did announce it at the Search Central Live event in Madrid this morning.

I am hearing reports that Google is showing driving direction request data on the Google Business Profile API for Service Area Businesses (SABs). SABs do not get a directions button, because those addresses are hidden in Google Search and Google Maps – so how does anyone trigger driving directions to that business?

Google has been using AI to write parts of the knowledge panels for some time now. But now it seems, when Google does that, it will show references and link cards, like it does in the AI Overviews.

Google seems to be rolling out a new metric in the Google Business Profiles performance report for “messaging clicks." This was a feature we had in the old Google My Business reports in 2020 but it went away. But now it seems to be returning.
