HOW TO CONNECT YOUTUBE TO GOOGLE MAPS

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

YouTube can surface a “Featured Places” module that connects videos directly to a business's Google Maps listing, showing a Maps button alongside related content in the video description. This happens when YouTube recognizes a clear link between a video and a physical business, typically through signals like mentions of the business name and city, metadata, and connected Google accounts. For local businesses, this improves visibility across both video and local search. It also shortens the path from viewing content to taking action via Google Maps.
