Plus, Google is allowing reviewers to use nicknames instead of their real names when leaving a review.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Know before you go. <\/strong>Google is rolling out the \u201cknow before you go\u201d feature within Google Maps. This is a feature we saw being tested before, both in <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.seroundtable.com\/google-search-know-before-you-go-39015.html\">Search<\/a> and in <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2021\/07\/28\/google-maps-ios-widgets\/\">Maps<\/a>, but now it is officially rolling out in Google Maps.<\/p>\n<p>When you search for places in Google Maps, Google will show you a new section with \u201cknow before you go\u201d tips. Google will show you information like parking tips, secret menu items, the best way to book a reservation, and details about the entrance.<\/p>\n<p>Google gets this information through user reviews and other information it finds online, like the best way to book a reservation, what the secret menu items are, parking tips and more.<\/p>\n<p>Google calls these \u201cinsider tips\u201d and they are rolling out now in the U.S. on Android and iOS.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what it looks like:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2025\/11\/Insider-tips.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Trending nearby in Explore tab. <\/strong>Google added to the explore tab trending and popular restaurants, activities and sights near you. You can swipe up on the explore tab, while on the maps interface, to see these results. <\/p>\n<p>Google said these trends are sourced from Viator, Lonely Planet, and OpenTable, in addition to local influencers like Sisterssnacking.<\/p>\n<p>This is rolling out this month globally on Android and iOS.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what it looks like:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2025\/11\/Explore-tab.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Nicknames for reviewers. <\/strong>Google is also letting reviewers use nicknames, instead of their real names. Google wrote, \u201cIf you prefer not to use your real name, now you can choose a nickname and profile.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Won\u2019t this lead to more spammy reviewers? Google says no. Google linked to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/maps\/google-business-profiles-ai-fake-reviews\/\">this blog post<\/a> that talks about its review spam capabilities. Google said it will \u201cmonitor for suspicious and fake reviews 24\/7, since no matter what nickname you use publicly, reviews are still associated with your Google Account behind the scenes. <\/p>\n<p>This feature is rolling out this month globally on Android, iOS and desktop.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how it works:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2025\/11\/Profile-nicknames.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
