Retailers can select one or several attributes under Business details to let customers know more about their business.

The available business identity attributes are:

  • Black-owned
  • Latino-owned
  • Veteran-owned
  • Women-owned
  • Small business

Attributes may appear publicly within 24 hours as a badge on Google Search and the Shopping tab in the US.
