A local SEO expert Nathan Schoell spotted Google My Business testing a new feature that allows businesses to add collections of products to their listings instead of services.
He posted a screenshot on Twitter:
Been playing with new GMB beta feature, Products (Beta) Looks to be replacement for Services menu located in Info tab. Set up collections with products in each collection. I am putting service items in as well. Any additional info here @mblumenthal ? pic.twitter.com/1UKyVXKfkb

As per the tweet of Schoell, with this feature businesses will ordinarily add services to their listing.
This feature will enable to show the name of the product, a 1,000 character description, the price, and a photo for each product.
If the business renders both products and services, there is no point to stop them from including a combination of both in GMB listing.
Getting on Google my business can increase the chances of showing up in google local pack, local finder, google map and organic ranking in general. I would say this is one of the great features to Google my business that many businesses can take the advantage of enhancing the google my business listing and help to grab the viewer attention
Interesting, Sathish! Thanks for sharing!
