Dealerships in the US can now put all of their stock on their Google My Business pages.

All United States dealerships that make use of the “cars for sale” function found in Google Business Profiles will soon have access to the beta version of the local auto inventory service.Greg Gifford says that Google has now given this beta feature to all dealerships in the United States.

There are currently cars that can be bought.

The “Cars for Sale” function in Google Business Profiles is now available for any product that has a vehicle identification number. Google made this change recently (VIN).
“Up until last week, the only people who could post their inventory on their Google Business pages were vehicle dealers situated in the United States.
Any item that already possesses a vehicle identifying number is now eligible to be added to the list.Gifford made it clear that this new rule applies to motorbikes, recreational vehicles (RVs), powersports vehicles, and commercial vehicles.

More info.
This function has its own dedicated area on Google, which can be found over here and is referred to as “car listings.”
Google said in a statement that “car listings on Google allow companies to promote their available vehicles on several Google surfaces,” such as dealership company profiles and Google Search.Then, people who use Google can search for, filter, and easily find out more about cars for sale, such as their availability, prices, and other important information, which could lead them to your business.

For your Business Profile account to be able to manage vehicle listings, you need to do the following:

1. Navigate to business.google.com/locations in order to access your Web Business Profile account.

2. Select the option to See your profile for the company’s profile for which you wish to update the settings.

3. Select the Vehicle listings tab, then click the Edit profile button.

The following procedures need to be carried out in order to manage your automobile listings via a Google search:

1. Enter “my business” or the name of your company into Google Search and look for results.

2. After clicking the Edit profile button, select Vehicle listings from the drop-down menu.

Why do we bother?
If you work at a car dealership, you should probably take use of this function as soon as possible.
It is possible that you may make more sales if you list your automobiles in Google Search as well as the local search results. This will help you attract more people into your showroom.
