Google announced this morning that they are officially launching the ability to edit your business details in search, without having to go to Google My Business or use the mobile Google My Business app. This is something Google has been testing and testing for the past few months.
All you need to do is find your business in search and be logged into the account you have verified the business with originally and you can edit it inline within search.

We’ve created a simple, easy-to-access business dashboard right in Google Search. Just find your business on Google Search, and you can complete and enhance your listing, share photos and posts related to your business, and see how many views you’re getting.
1. Find your business on Google Search and you will see a new, simple menu right above the search results. If you’re not seeing the menu, make sure you’re logged in with your business account.
2. Click the edit button, and the fields you can edit will be highlighted. You can update your information and upload photos directly.
Here is a GIF of it in action:
It works both on desktop and mobile:
