Google Tests Two-Row Local Panel Design on Mobile Search

Google is testing a new format for its local panels on mobile search. The feature shows two rows of action buttons, allowing users to access more options without scrolling.

This change was spotted by Khushal Bherwani, who posted a screenshot on X. When compared to the previous version with a scrollable carousel, the new design appears to prioritize frequently used actions.

The updated layout has been met with some curiosity among users and observers, but it is unclear what this means for Google's local search strategy or how long the test will last.
