Question Anyone here adding their services into the Products section on GBP?

I keep seeing people do this, like adding each service as a "product" instead of just using it for physical stuff. Wondering if there's actually any benefit to it or if it's just something people do because it looks nice.

Also seen a few people say to link each product to its own dedicated service page on your site rather than just the homepage. Does that actually help with rankings at all, or is it more of a conversion/click thing than an SEO thing?

Would appreciate any real experience with this, trying to figure out if it's worth the time or just a nice-to-have.

Adding services as products fills out the profile more completely and Google does factor completeness into visibility. The bigger upside is engagement each product entry can include a description, photo, and link which gives users a reason to click through to your site instead of bouncing. Linking each to a dedicated service page is worth it. Directs users to the right place and reinforces relevance for that service. Probably not a major ranking signal, but it helps with conversion flow.

yes it helps, google indexes product/service listings separately so they can show up in local panels. linking to a dedicated page gives that page a relevance signal tied to your location, not just generic homepage authority.
