le launches cars for sale in Google Business Profiles //
Google has opened up the local vehicle inventory beta feature to all US-based dealerships that use the cars for purchase feature in Google Business Profiles. Greg Gifford reports Google has now opened this beta feature to all US-based dealers.
Cars for Sale. Google now allows any product with a vehicle identification number to use the “Cars for Sale” feature in Google Business Profiles. “Up until this week, only US-based dealers were able to list their inventory on Google Business Profiles. Anything with a Vehicle Identification number is now eligible for listing. Greg Gifford explained that this means that all types of vehicles, including motorbikes, powersports, and commercial vehicles, are now allowed to be listed.
This is what it looks like. This GIF shows the cars for sale feature in action during beta.
