    Google map listing/business listing not related to website at all. The results returned based on keywords you've used when described your business, category and geo location.

    Number of reviews from different IP addresses is one thing, plus location and selected keywords. Man, they're missing the boat if they don't have a website. How could any legitimate business not have one?

    Hi, there are a lot of listings in Google Maps that don't have Web sites, which is an indicator that it might be a good starting point if you want to offer Web site design services.

    Do the reviews have to be from different IP addresses?

    Local listing for that term is most important, another thing most reviews if you are getting from various unique IPs, then it would put your site above others and another the description, your targeted keywords and the legitimacy of your site, if you have done verified it earlier. have effect the most over the listing of your website on the Google map.

    So focus on all the factors and if found any rotten that replace that.

    All of the above plus you can create backlinks to the actual Google Maps listing itself. It would still seem that the it would help a great deal for the business to develop a website, although it's true it is not a requirement to have a maps listing.

    As are the organic results, google maps uses a secret algorithm to calculate rank. The best recommendation I would have is that the business filled out their google maps page very thoroughly and stuffed with keywords. It could also be boosted by location and proximity to the center of the city.

    Main thing is that we need to get more number of reviews from different IP and number of hits for the tile tag/keyword.

    without site it is little hard but you can still submit data to local business center. Kml file plays important role in getting ranking in business center...
