Google Performance Insights - Products and Menus

[Claudia]

On the Check your business profile performance & View insights Google states...

• Products: Number of views on products over a selected period. These views only account for products sold at your Business Profile's location, not those sold online.
• Menus: Number of clicks on the menu content per user per day. It includes menu photos, menu URLs, and structured menu data on your Business Profile.

I do not see Products and Menus in the Google dashboard or in the api. Any one have information on this? Specifically in the API

Products should be available for pretty much all categories and the menu feature should really only be available for restaurant related categories.

Which categories are you checking where you are not seeing the product or menu feature?

Sorry my original question is confusing. What I am wondering is why the dashboard is showing us menu and product views but its not in the API. Right now we are pulling in the below but Menu and products was not listed in the API.

There just showed up and I think Google didn't even announce it formally, so it's not necessarily surprising (at least to me!) that it hadn't been documented yet.

I'm excited about it, I think it would be really nice metrics to have.

@Colan Nielsen I noticed that one of my clients performance for Searches breakdown were unrelated to the business but where business names nearby. See image, they are showing keywords for home depot, whole foods and starbucks. All these businesses are nearby. Does this mean they showed up on map results with these businesses in the search results?

It means that your business appeared in the local pack and/or local finder when someone (or something) was searching those queries. What type of business is it?

it is a swim school.

Mike Blumenthal suggested it is due to the nearby search option.
