Google Search just launched AI-powered calling to local businesses.
Now, when you search for “pet groomers near me” or similar, you’ll see an option to “Have AI check pricing.” Submit your request, and Google Search will call local shops to gather pricing and availability for you. No phone needed.
The AI consolidates info from multiple businesses, giving you options fast. It saves time for users and helps local businesses book customers easier. 
This feature rolls out directly inside Search, aiming to speed up everyday errands like pet grooming and dry cleaning.
“To help you get even more done, we’re now bringing a new, agentic capability directly into Search: AI-powered calling to local businesses. From pet grooming to dry cleaning needs, Search can now call businesses to get pricing and availability information on your behalf — without you needing to pick up the phone.”
“To get started, search for something like ‘pet groomers near me’ and you’ll see a new option in the results to ‘Have AI check pricing.’ From there, you can submit your request and Search will do the rest, consolidating information about appointments and services from different businesses to present you with a range of options – saving you time and creating new opportunities for businesses to easily book customers.”
