Google Search appears to be testing displaying solely native listings from Google Enterprise Profiles for a lot of “close to me” forms of queries. So once you seek for [dentist near me] or [indian food near me] and so forth, you solely get native listings and no internet search outcomes.
I personally can’t replicate this however I had two folks notify me of this over the previous few days.
First was Melanie Funderburk who posted a video seize of this in motion on X and wrote, “I’m seeing a NEW Google take a look at the place 40 GBPs are on web page 1 of Google Cell Seek for “dentist close to me.”
AFAIK: I’m seeing a NEW Google take a look at the place 40 GBPs are on web page 1 of Google Cell Seek for “dentist close to me”

Once more, I don’t see this but it surely doesn’t shock me that Google could also be testing this.
