From the image, posted above, we can see that businesses will be able to display their address and a map of their location directly under the number of followers. According to Baykpour, though, Twitter will soon implement more features, tailored toward business.

At the moment Twitter is testing Professional Profiles with just a handful of business owners in the US, with a rollout to a wider audience to follow in the next few months.
