Add reviews of products not just places

[#1]

I get great value out of Google reviews of places.  I would love.to see Google reviews of products.  E.g. appliances, vehicles, electronics, etc.  It would help me make buying decisions!

This would help others determine what products they purchase.  Not just places they visit!  It would be a huge win!

Product details and in store location data must be captured in order for one day to Google search for a local product recommended by the user. Say flaming hot Cheetos into Google assistant and Bam finds the closest store with product and even tells you where to go in the store. It's the way of the future. Get this approved already

Restaurant menus could be one example.  Then Google map could allow one to upload pictures for differet menus separately and review them each, like Yelp does.

It's just a thought and I acknowledge we should work out how to do it properly using this platform. 

As Google Maps is widely referred to as a reliable source of rating and review system for places, I am wondering how we could extend this to review all sorts of products, goods and services?

It could be an extension to Google Maps like Google Product Review, something like Consumer Reports though by end users rather than professionals and based on their purchase experiences.

マイビジネスの”商品”部分にもレビュー機能を付ける。

”商品”の部分は飲食店であればメニューサービス業であれば各サービスを記載してあるが、そこに商品単位でのレビューも付ける。

現在はお店・店舗自体のレビューで良し悪しを判断しているが、そこに商品単位でも良し悪しがわかれば更にユーザーには便利。お店・店舗側も商品の改善がしやすい。
