Highlights of Businesses

Hy Local Guides,

Like you guys, when I visit cafes/restaurants I take photos of dishes I ordered and upload them into the Maps. When I upload, Maps will ask to add the name of the dish or food or if we don’t know the name, we can find it in the menu or we can skip that page. I usually add the name of the food.

After we add the name of the dish, it may come in the menu highlights of that cafe’s/restaurant’s Business profile with reviews of people mentioning about that dish.

Some of my photos are in the menu highlights of a business.

These kind of contributions is much helpful for small food vendor businesses.


Other Noticeable highlights

  • Go to business profile in Google Maps and click on the “About”.
  • Scroll down and click on “edit features”.
  • You can see highlights that business provides and edit them.
  • Only edit the highlights which that business provides.

  • Go to Google search or chrome and type in which business you want to search.
  • You will get a business profile of that business.
  • Go to the “About” section.
  • You will see highlights/features with icons which business provides.

These highlights/features with icons can be seen only in mobile mode. If you can see it in desktop mode, please let me know in the comments.

Ich füge immer zu den Bildern den Namen des Gerichts zu, hier folgt ein Beispiel:

Ich finde es diese Darstellung auch sehr wichtig @Rahul001

Hello dear @Rahul001,
Of course, though this feature is helpful, many people are not aware of this and hence under-utilised!
Also, Highlights like “Fire Place” are really not much useful.
You have presented the topic legibly…
Nice…:+1::tada:

Hi @Rahul001,

This feature is undoubtedly helpful, but unfortunately, many people remain unaware of its existence, leading to it being underutilized. Raising awareness about its benefits and providing clear guidance on how to use it could significantly enhance its adoption. With better outreach through posts and meetups, more local guides can take advantage of this valuable tool to improve their efficiency and experience.

Thank you Travellerg for your valuable comment. Menu highlights can be useful as when we want to see how a dish from a restaurant is presented to us!

As there is no search option in highlights, all we have to do is search in map |name of dish| in |name of the restaurant/cafe|. It automatically shows that particular dish in that Resturant/cafe we searched. Worked for me!
