GOOGLE MAPS & LOCAL SEARCH
Google Maps (formerly Google Local) is a web mapping service application and technology provided by Google, free (for non-commercial use), that powers many map-based services, including the Google Maps website.
You’re familiar with Google Maps. Type an address and see the map, or switch to a satellite photo. At this point, the user can just type in “restaurants” and Google Maps will show a list of restaurants in Baltimore. Or, the user would have began by typing in “italian restaurants baltimore md” or something similar.
Google shows a mix of paid ads and local business listings from Google Places. The ads come from Google AdWords, Google’s pay-per-click advertising platform, which allows businesses a way to target ads to specific geographic regions and geographic-based searches.
