Sergey Alakov posted a screen shot on Twitter of a new icon he spotted in the local pack listings. The icon is a blue comment style image with a blue star in the center. He asked me if this is an ad icon, but I believe this is a top rated icon, an icon that shows this location has a top rating by Google users for some category.
Also, I doubt bars are paying for ads in Google Ads.
Here is his screen shot:
You can see that the two with a top rating line in the snippet have the icon. I also checked myself and I cannot replicate it and I do not see any ads for these restaurants coming up for me.
Have you seen this icon before?
