How recommendations work
Google uses various factors from your Google Account’s Web & App Activity to determine whether to display recommendations. Google also uses these factors to predict whether you may be a business owner, manager, or if you’re otherwise affiliated with a particular business on Google.
Your Google Account’s business personalization settings don’t affect this experience.
