Google Maps Listing Optimization

    When a user searches for a local type term on Google, you normally see a few listings at the top of the page with a google map showing their location.

    I know that just because your business is registered with google maps doesn't necessarily mean that you are going to be listed with those few results....so my question is this:

    How do I optimize my site for these Google maps listings on the organic search results pages?

    Thanks

    How long have you had your business verified and confirmed for? Do you have any categories selected or a logo uploaded? Sometimes when you upload a logo it may take longer to get higher on those results. If there is a secret to this please post it!

    Submit your information to Google Local for free and link back to your site.
