Google Places vs. Google Maps

3 replies
Why are there always different rankings for both Google places and Google maps? This doesn't make sense to me. Does one put more weight on backlinks whereas the other puts more weight on citations? Thanks in advance!

    Maps has kind of melded into the Places system. They still have a maps part of Google, but the SERP results focus on places.

    If you're worried about ranking, worry about citations and places, for sure.

    I just receieved this reply after adding a company to GOOGLE PLACES.


    Reminder: You've removed your listing from Google Maps
    You have a business listing that is not showing on Google Maps, but will continue to display in your Google Places account.

    If you mistakenly associated the listing with your account, you should sign in to your account and click Delete to remove the listing from your Google Places account. Please note this listing may continue to display on Google Maps if provided by other sources.


    WTF?
