Google's new Ask Maps feature could change how prospects search for and evaluate apartments—and most multifamily teams are not ready for it yet.

In this episode of The Multifamily Marketers Podcast, hosts Josh Grillo and Caroline Mills break down what Ask Maps is, how it works inside Google Maps, and why it matters for reviews, SEO, GEO, and overall property visibility.

If renters can now ask Google Maps conversational questions like "What are the best pet-friendly apartments near me with parking?" this is no longer just a search issue—it's a full digital presence issue.

You'll learn:

• What Ask Maps is and how it works inside Google Maps
• Why search is shifting from keywords to conversational questions
• How Google pulls answers from your GBP, reviews, website, and SEO signals
• Why reviews now matter even more for visibility
• How properties can encourage residents to mention the right amenities in reviews
• What teams should update first: GBP, FAQ content, and listing consistency
• Why marketers need to start testing Ask Maps now—not later
