fusion-text-1\"><p><strong>Google has just opened a new window into the behind-the-scenes workings of your business listing. Since September 2026, the \u201cCollected info\u201d tab has allowed business owners to view the information gathered by Google\u2019s automated assistant during calls or written exchanges with their business. You can see the source and the date, and you can delete anything that no longer reflects reality. This new feature highlights a simple truth: your Google Business Profile draws from dozens of sources. Mastering your entire digital presence\u2014your \u201cdigital 360\u201d\u2014is becoming an essential skill for business leaders.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Google_Just_Launched\"><\/span>What Google Just Launched<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On September 14, 2026, Search Engine Land confirmed the official rollout of the feature, which had been in testing for several months. Google announced it on X: details verified by its automated assistant now appear in the listing\u2019s dashboard, with the option to delete outdated data.<\/p>\n<p>The tab displays a clear message. The information comes from phone calls or written communications with your business. Google uses this information to connect you with customers who are looking for services like yours.<\/p>\n<p>According to Google&#8217;s official help documentation, the path consists of three steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Open your business listing<\/strong> from Google Search or business.google.com.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Select \u201cEdit Profile,\u201d<\/strong> then the \u201cCollected Info\u201d tab (the French translation may vary).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Review each line.<\/strong> Google indicates the source of the information and the date it was collected. The text appears in the original language of the exchange.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Is there incorrect information? Click \u201cDelete,\u201d then confirm.<\/p>\n<p>Helpful note: Google is currently limiting this feature to certain regions, languages, and business categories. If the tab doesn&#8217;t appear for you yet, that&#8217;s perfectly normal.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_does_this_information_come_from\"><\/span>Where does this information come from?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Google sometimes contacts businesses via automated calls, text messages, or WhatsApp using the verified phone number listed on their profile. The purpose is to confirm your business hours or the availability of certain services. Your responses may update your profile.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine the scene. It\u2019s Friday at noon, and an apprentice at a plumbing company answers the phone. A computer-generated voice asks if the company provides service on Sundays. The apprentice replies \u201cyes,\u201d thinking of his boss\u2019s emergency calls. Three days later, the schedule shows Sunday service that no one is actually covering. The first customer of the weekend will have a long wait.<\/p>\n<p>The Google Help page provides three important clarifications:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Changes resulting from these appeals are set to &#8220;Pending&#8221; status, and the review process can take up to 5 business days.<\/li>\n<li>Google may publish a post on your behalf based on your responses. You\u2019ll receive an email and can choose to remove it at any time.<\/li>\n<li>Google never asks for payment, credit card numbers, or passwords. Any call asking for money to \u201ckeep your business on Google\u201d is a scam.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can disable these prompts in the advanced settings of your Google business profile, under the &#8220;Automated calls and messages&#8221; section. Three toggles control customer reservations, profile updates, and posting on your behalf.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deleting_information_instructions_and_limitations\"><\/span>Deleting information: instructions and limitations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> The &#8220;Delete&#8221; button removes the information from Google&#8217;s archives. It leaves all other elements already present on your listing intact.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s go back to our plumber. He deletes the line \u201cSunday service\u201d from the tab. If this service is already listed in his public schedule, he must also correct the entry itself. Two steps, two places.<\/p>\n<p>Keep this in mind: every time you delete an entry in the tab, the system checks the schedules, services, and attributes displayed to users.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_listing_a_mosaic_of_sources\"><\/span>Your listing: a mosaic of sources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This tab sheds light on a process that has long been opaque. According to its documentation, Google compiles listings from several sources:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>public content found online, including the company&#8217;s official website;<\/li>\n<li>user-generated content (addresses, phone numbers, photos, reviews);<\/li>\n<li>information entered by the owners;<\/li>\n<li>Google\u2019s interactions with the business itself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Internet users play a major role in this equation. In 2025, the Google Maps community suggested 80 million updates to business hours and contact information, according to Google\u2019s official blog. We recently detailed the new email alerts that notify you of these suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>Your profile looks like a puzzle put together by a robot. Each piece comes from a different place. One wrong piece, and the picture gets blurry.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Mastering_Your_Digital_360_Is_Essential\"><\/span>Why Mastering Your Digital 360 Is Essential<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The digital 360 refers to all the places where your business has an online presence: Google listings, websites, directories such as PagesJaunes, social media, review platforms, messaging apps, and now artificial intelligence assistants. Your phone system is now part of this ecosystem since Google queries it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_customers_cross-reference_sources\"><\/span>Your customers cross-reference sources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>BrightLocal\u2019s 2026 Local Consumer Review Survey, conducted among 1,002 U.S. consumers, reveals some striking figures:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>45% of consumers used an AI tool to get a recommendation for a local business, compared with 6% a year earlier;<\/li>\n<li>the use of Google to find a local business has declined from 83% to 71%;<\/li>\n<li>97% of consumers read online reviews before making a choice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These figures pertain to the United States. They provide a useful trend for anticipating developments in the French market.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AI_assembles_your_portrait\"><\/span>AI assembles your portrait<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p> An AI assistant queries your website, directory listings, reviews, and social media. It then composes a single response. If your website announces a closure on Monday and your Facebook page an opening, the AI \u200b\u200bchooses. Sometimes poorly.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a restaurant as an example. Its website says &#8220;closed on Mondays.&#8221; A third-party directory\u2014which is never updated\u2014says the opposite. A server answers an automated call from Google without knowing the schedule. The result: three versions of the truth, and a couple standing in front of a closed curtain on a Monday night. A one-star review follows shortly afterward.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Google_Becomes_an_Active_Interlocutor\"><\/span>Google Becomes an Active Interlocutor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Google Assistant scans the web and even picks up the phone. It calls your business to check hours, book an appointment for a customer, or confirm a product\u2019s availability, according to its documentation. Everyone who answers the phone becomes a spokesperson for your brand to a machine.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Action_Plan_with_Five_Key_Areas\"><\/span>Action Plan with Five Key Areas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Map out your online presence.<\/strong> Create a table listing each channel, the information displayed, the person in charge, and the date of the last review. A bakery often discovers four or five forgotten directories during this initial inventory.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Establish a single source of truth.<\/strong> Create an internal reference sheet: name, address, phone number, hours of operation, special hours, and services. Publish it on your website using the Schema.org LocalBusiness schema. All updates start with this document and are then rolled out to each channel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare your phone response.<\/strong> Inform your teams about Google\u2019s automated calls. Designate the people authorized to confirm appointments or services. Make an informed decision about whether to enable these calls in your Google Business Profile settings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Establish a monitoring routine.<\/strong> Each month, review the \u201cCollected Information\u201d tab. Each week, check your listing and your email alerts. Before any peak periods (holidays, vacations, long weekends in May), double-check your hours across all channels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ask AI systems about yourself.<\/strong> Regularly ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Google\u2019s AI mode a simple question: \u201cWhat are [your company\u2019s] hours?\u201d Note any discrepancies. Trace the issue back to its source (website, directory, social media) and correct it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tomorrow_your_identity_will_be_negotiated_between_machines\"><\/span>Tomorrow, your identity will be negotiated between machines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The \u201cInformation Collected\u201d tab marks a milestone. Google publicly acknowledges that its assistant communicates with businesses and edits their listings. Tomorrow, a customer\u2019s AI agent might call your company\u2019s AI agent to reserve a table or compare quotes. Your Google My Business listing, your website, and your directory listings will become input data for these automated conversations.<\/p>\n<p>Companies that maintain consistency across all their channels will earn the trust of algorithms. Mastering your 360-degree digital presence means mastering the story that machines tell about you.<\/p>\n<p>Good news: Mastering this skill is mainly a matter of having a systematic approach. A chart, a reliable source, and a routine. You don&#8217;t need any expensive subscriptions to get started.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Is the &#8220;Collected info&#8221; tab available in France?<\/strong> Google is rolling it out gradually by region, language, and category. Check the &#8220;Edit profile&#8221; section of your listing regularly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does deleting collected information correct my listing?<\/strong> No. Deleting <strong>the<\/strong> information removes it from Google&#8217;s archives. Information already published on the listing remains in place unless you edit it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I opt out of automated calls from Google?<\/strong> Yes. Turn them off in the advanced settings of your verified listing, or request this during the call. Google may still contact you manually to confirm certain information.<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to take back control of your Google listing and your online presence\u2014all on your own? Our ebook walks you through each step.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sources\"><\/span>Sources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Barry Schwartz, \u201cGoogle Business Profile Rolls Out \u2018Collected Info,\u2019\u201d Search Engine Land, September 14, 2026: <a href=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/google-business-profiles-rolls-out-collected-info-488387\">https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/google-business-profiles-rolls-out-collected-info-488387<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Google, Google Business Profile Help, \u201cAbout automated calls and texts from Google to your business\u201d: <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/business\/answer\/7690269\">https:\/\/support.google.com\/business\/answer\/7690269<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Google, Google Business Profile Help, \u201cUnderstand how Google sources &#038; uses info in Business Profiles\u201d: <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/business\/answer\/2721884\">https:\/\/support.google.com\/business\/answer\/2721884<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Google, \u201cNew ways we\u2019re protecting businesses on Maps,\u201d April 16, 2026: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/products\/maps\/new-ways-were-protecting-businesses-on-maps\/\">https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/products\/maps\/new-ways-were-protecting-businesses-on-maps\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li>BrightLocal, \u201cLocal Consumer Review Survey 2026\u201d: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightlocal.com\/research\/local-consumer-review-survey\/\">https:\/\/www.brightlocal.com\/research\/local-consumer-review-survey\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since September 2026, the \u201cCollected Info\u201d tab has allowed business owners to view the information collected by Google\u2019s automated assistant during calls or written communications with their business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15721,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_ayudawp_aiss_exclude":false,"_ayudawp_aiss_exclude_summary":false,"_ayudawp_aiss_summary":"","_ayudawp_aiss_summary_provider":"","_ayudawp_aiss_summary_hash":"","_hts_schema_type":"auto","_hts_schema_pro_data":[],"_hts_robots_meta":[],"_hts_canonical_url":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[107,111,106,109],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ereputation-en","category-google-my-business-en","category-retailer-merchant","category-seo-expert"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.5 (Yoast SEO v28.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Information Collected by Google: Why You Need to Take Control of Your Digital 360<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Google displays the information its Assistant collects about your business.
