Google has formally announced<\/a> the availability of the new GMB feature to add a Service Menu to the local Knowledge Panel. It has recently been reported by \u00a0both Kevin Getch<\/a> and Phil Rozek\u00a0<\/a>as visible in their client dashboards.<\/p>\n

From the announcement:<\/p>\n

<\/a>Back in January we launched a new Menu editor<\/a> for the food service industry. This month, we are excited to announce that we have expanded our menu editor to now include additional services.<\/em><\/p>\n

Businesses in health & beauty, and service businesses, such as plumbers and florists, now have the ability to add their menu of services directly to their listing through their Google My Business account.<\/em><\/p>\n

Same as the food establishment menu editor, this feature will only be available if the listing is not currently connected to a third party provider and for listings in English speaking locals. If your listing is currently displaying an incorrect menu, please see this help center link<\/a> for more information on how to correct or remove the link.<\/em><\/p>\n

As a note it is visible in every category I have checked so far EXCEPT hotels.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The feature is simple to use. Navigagte to the Info section of the Google My Business Dashboard and select the Services Item :
