What is the Top Places List? #
- When your business is featured in online “top places” or “best of” lists on qualified websites, Google may highlight those lists in your business’s Search results.
- For example, if your restaurant appears in “Top 10 Chinese restaurants in NYC” and “Best restaurants in the city,” Google can show these lists as rich results linked to your business listing.
Key Points #
- Eligibility: This feature is only for businesses with a physical location.
- Source: The lists must come from qualified websites that Google trusts and indexes.
- Appearance: The actual display may vary based on the search query and Google’s algorithms.
Why it Matters #
- Being featured in such lists can boost your local visibility and credibility.
- It acts as a form of social proof by showing your business is recognized as a top choice.
