Google announced<\/a> the inclusion of expert opinions and top 10 list data into local search results. For now its appearing on restaurants but I assume that it can and will show more widely as Google figures out how to assign these sorts of results to other entities.<\/p>\n

These results are currently on mobile browsers and the Google App. When they will be migrating to the desktop is not known.<\/p>\n

Note that the search results only shows the special designation on some listings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It appears that if they are on more than one list, then the listing will receive a special designation in the mobile Local 3 Pack results.<\/p>\n

On this search result Hutch’s shows the special designation in the search results but in the mobile local Finder, the top three restaurants show the designation.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_1762\"<\/a>
Even though all of the top three had at least one list that they were on that showed in the mobile Local Finder.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It appears that the difference is that Hutches is on more than one list. When you drill in this is what is visible:<\/p>\n

When you click on the original source list you are then taken to the website. That’s at least 3 clicks in for those of you that are counting.<\/p>\n

Update: I am seeing this on the desktop but it is buried deep in the Local Finder:<\/p>\n
