"Google is testing removing some of the action buttons on local panels, Google Business Profiles, including call and share, and replacing it with a numbered show more button."
"Now shows a limited set of primary action buttons upfront (like Website, Directions, Save), while the rest are tucked under a '+' expandable option."
"Another case of Google, removing the call button on an organic result to push people towards big beautiful call buttons on the ads?"
"Clearly, this is not a great thing for small businesses."
Google is testing a new design for local panels in Google Business Profiles by reducing the number of visible action buttons. Users will see a limited set of primary actions like Website, Directions, and Save, while additional options are hidden under a '+ Show More' button. This change has raised concerns among small businesses, as it may push users towards ads with more prominent call buttons instead of organic results.
