Get verified business information in your Google Contacts, now enriched with Google Maps business data

Companies are getting more connected every day, and if you’re like us, you might store business phone numbers in your Google Contacts to keep in touch with company headquarters, partners you work with, or even your favorite restaurant for delivery.

This launch adds Google Maps as a new source of information to enrich your existing contact data. Now when you store a phone number that matches an official business number in Google Maps, we’ll list the information you’ve saved, supplemented with business information directly from the listing. This can include business name, address, phone number, website, and photo. These fields will never override information you’ve added manually.


This new Google Maps integration is only available in the Google Contacts preview.
