Google Maps Business Profile Ask Button
Briefly

Google is conducting a limited test by repositioning the "Ask" button on certain Google local listings. This button can now be found after the directions and start buttons, and just before the call button on some profiles. Claudia Tomina drew attention to this change, indicating that those managing Google Business Profiles should take notice. However, other users have reported not being able to replicate this feature, suggesting it may not be widely implemented yet. The "Ask" button provides direct links to maps related to the business profile.
The "Ask" button is being tested in a prominent position on some Google local listings, positioned between directions, start, and call buttons.
Claudia Tomina noted that the new "Ask" button is now prominently featured in the top filter bar, suggesting that Google Business Profile managers should take notice.
The testing may be limited, as not everyone can replicate the new button's positioning on their Google local listings.
The "Ask" button links directly to the ask maps for each business profile, potentially enhancing user interaction.
