Google is testing adding an image carousel directly in the business profile panel. So at the top of a business profile listing you see these business images. In this test, you can swipe the images to see more.

This was spotted by Mike who posted a few photos of it in the Lokales Suchforum. I took those images and made it into a GIF so you can see what it looks like in action:

Yep, it does look like that.

Google Business Profiles has a bug that prevents you from inviting a new owner to your Business Profile listing. You can invite new managers, but inviting new owners does not currently work (at least when I wrote this story).

This issue was posted in the Local Search Forums earlier this week where seaniaaa wrote, that “both outgoing, when we are adding clients to their GBP, and incoming, when new clients are adding us to their GBP, we are all unable to select “Owner” access level when sending invites. It only lets you pick the “Manager” access level. This just started happening over the last couple of days. Multiple clients. Chrome is fully up to date. You click to select Owner and it just doesn’t do anything. No error message or warnings at all.”

Supposedly this is a widespread issue impacting anyone trying to add a new owner to their business profiles.

To add new owners or managers to your Google Business Profile, follow these steps:

• Go to your Business Profile.
• Click Menu Menu and then Business Profile settings and then Managers.
• At the top left, click Add Invite new users.
• Enter a name or email address.
• Under “Access,” choose Owner or Manager.
• Click Invite.

I am hoping by the time this story goes out, the issue will be resolved.

The other day, I reported that Google was testing replacing the 3D label with a 360 label. Well, I may have been wrong because 360 and 3D may be different and not the same. We are now seeing Google show both 3D and 3560 labels on product listings in the same product grid, which means to me, they are different.

Khushal Bherwani spotted this and posted a screenshot of this on Twitter – here it is, showing both the 3D and 360 label on the product image:

So maybe 3D is the augmented reality version where 360 just lets you see the image itself in a 360 degree view?
