To quickly confirm product inventory and in-store availability, you often make multiple calls to nearby stores. You can save time when you ask Google to call nearby stores on your behalf.
When you search for certain products with “near me” on Search, you may find the option “Let Google call.”
Google calls multiple stores to confirm product availability, prices, and any deals. You get info from these calls and online inventory data through text or email. After you get a summary of available products from Google, you can confidently choose a store and know your needed items are in stock.
