Google introduces 2 innovations to local search

Google search now features two innovations: Highlights in the local search listings, and price labels in the hotel search results.

Using special icons, highlights specifies the amenities of the local business displayed in the search. For example, if user searches for a cafe nearby, he will have icons “cozy place”, healthy food”, “fast food”, etc.

And when searching for a place to stay overnight, Google came up with a very convenient thing. Now the map shows not the hotel names, but price labels per night, so that user can choose the most affordable room.
