Google Local Business

Google seems to have launched or is testing a feature to have Google Search read details about a local business listing. This might be in only some regions, as I cannot replicate this in New York but I received a few reports from India about this feature.

In the local panel, some listings have this button that says "Hear about this place" with a speaker icon. You click on it, and it reads the business name and the business category for that business.

Here is a screenshot Khushal Bherwani shared with me on Twitter - click to enlarge the image:

This reminds me of the hear this out load feature Google has for some featured snippets.
