Ecco il Report sulla sicurezza e sull'attendibilità dei contenuti di Google Maps per il 2025. Google si impegna a combattere lo spam. Ma deve fare di più https://t.co/OOZWhtjJ5Q
Focus on Local Search? Big news today from Google, and I’ve been testing it for the past week. It’s called “Ask Maps” and it’s when Gemini meets Local Search. It’s like having AI Mode directly in Google Maps and it opens up all sorts of possibilities for users.
“Ask Maps” can help you plan trips, research local businesses, have conversations about your plans, and more. My blog post covers “Ask Maps” in detail, and includes several examples of the feature in action (across types of queries).
In addition, I was on a call with the Gemini and Maps team to learn more about “Ask Maps”. I was able to ask several questions about where it’s headed, if ads will be part of the feature, if it will be integrated with Search and AI Mode, and more. You should check out my post for more information! https://t.co/yja8aQG0PQ

Google seems to be *creating its own Web Stories* (aka Visual Stories) that compile images, reviews on Maps, and links to Google Travel.
I imagine they found a way to automate this… wonder if they’ll show up in Google Discover soon too 🙄
