Google Updates When Questions & Solutions Present

For the previous a number of months, we have been seeing indicators that the Google Maps and native questions and solutions characteristic is being phased out. Properly, it looks like it’s not going away however moderately modified when it does and doesn’t present.

Pleasure Hawkins realized from Krystal Taing in regards to the modifications and posted about them within the Native Search Discussion board. She wrote:

Is Q&A gone on Google?

No – this has been faraway from some surfaces and experiences however it’s nonetheless out there to companies and customers.

Pleasure them posted once they do and don’t present, it will depend on the question:

• Q&A exhibits on companies in Google Maps in all sorts of searches.
• Q&A doesn’t present on search while you get a direct outcome and Information Panel, with out getting a map pack.

She supplied these examples so it’s simpler to grasp, however truthfully, I attempted a few of these and I’m not 100% clear but:

• Search – “Goal on Balboa in San Diego” (or one thing related that you realize provides you with the only outcome, not a listing) You’ll NOT see Q&A on this itemizing on Google Search. In case you do that search on maps, you WILL see Q&A
• Search – “Goal San Diego” or “Malls San Diego”. If you’re given a map pack of outcomes and also you click on into any of those outcomes, you will notice Q&A
• Enterprise homeowners will see all Q&A in GBP and through API, and may submit and reply as they all the time have

So, if I search and get this map pack and click on on a outcome, I am going to see the Q&A:

But when I seek for the enterprise immediately, I can’t get the Q&A, until it’s my enterprise and I’ve entry to see the Google Enterprise Profile:

I imply, I believe in the event you would seek for a particular enterprise, having the Q&A bit can be simply as related? So I’m confused why Google would take away it for these queries?
