    For Google local/maps/places the following things are needed and have recommended:

    - Well optimized google map listing
    - Use keyword with brand name in title of the listing
    - Exact physical address with pin and phone number
    - Try to get some reviews by different users from different IPs

    Google map listing very much depends on geographich location of the user.
    - How close user is from your business place
    - How close your business is from city center

    Another important factor is citations for your listing.
