Google Maps Adds Prominent “Ask” Button to Business Profiles

July 15, 2025

Google is experimenting with a newly positioned “Ask” button in select Google Maps business listings, now appearing alongside primary action buttons like Directions and Call. The button allows users to ask direct questions about a business, streamlining communication. Currently, the feature seems limited to a small test group and hasn’t been widely replicated by users. This update aims to improve interaction between businesses and potential customers, offering a more dynamic and responsive local search experience. Business owners are encouraged to monitor their profiles for this feature and respond promptly to incoming inquiries to maintain engagement and trust.

MacRAE's has been an amazing partner to Pathway Communications for its digital marketing efforts. There we worked with Sakshi who was our Account manager. We have nothing but great things to say for her! She is extremely thorough professional and responsive to any requests we may present. She has the required expertise and experience in the digital marketing space which helped us in getting the desired results. Her team has helped increase our organic sessions on our website with continual month over month increase. Our keyword rankings have increased and we have seen so much more traffic to our website. We cannot thank them enough for all of the hardwork and effort put in to making Pathway's digital presence felt.
