Google has rolled out an autocomplete feature to include local listings. Users can trigger autocomplete while performing a search directly on Google. Jason Brown tested this by typing San Diego Personal Injury lawyer and was presented with an option of a local listing. Google showed the full business name and address for the business in question. Google implement auto-complete as a method to cut down on additional clicks. When clicking on a local result from the auto-complete, Google will display the business’ knowledge panel, KP, and various results about the businesses.
The auto-complete also works in the local finder. Local finder is when you click on more results below the map pack. When a user searches on Local Finder and selects a result, you will only see the result of the business in the local finder result.
