Google My Business provides attribute for Latino-owned companies

Google added a new business attribute to the Google My Business console. You can now indicate if your company is Latinos owned and if so you can add this attribute to your company profile and highlight it in Google Search and Maps.

When you log in to Google My Business, click on your company, go to the info tab and then edit your displayed attributes Black possession, Latino possession, run by veterans and led by women Options. The new attribute belongs to the Latino, here is a screenshot:

So, if you run a Latin American business, adding the attribute can help make your business stand out in Google Search and Maps. If you have customers who do this, let them know and help them decide whether to add this attribute to their company profile.
