Real estate agents need to focus on something unique to show up in Google's local pack. It doesn't matter nearly as much for restaurants, hair salons, plumbers, and countless other small businesses.

Google just added new review attributes—could they influence Ask Maps questions?

• Wait times
• Noise level
• Group size suitability
• Seating options
More options mean more data feeding into preset Ask Maps questions.
