    I am very interested in this too, I have already put a kml file on my server I heard that would help but nothing so far. I'm still on page 4 for google places.

    hi

    If you want to improve Google listing ranking then you need to post reviews for your domain. We also need to put our keyword in all listing.

    Hope in this way you will improve.
