    There is a lot of things going on in Local right now, The matched domain possibly is triggering the brand algorithm. But the main reason is probably because you lack something that has become more important. If you were to provide more details I would be happy to point you in the right direction.

    @Guatamk - if this is still an issue I'd be happy to take a look and see if anything jumps out at me. You can also post over at the Google & Your Business Forum if you wanted the other Google Places Top Contributors to chime in - but you would need to list the details for the business.

      Google maps is not about domains. Google maps is not even about websites.

      If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

    That concludes, Exact match domains still hold an slight edge. As Dr.Pete of Moz says after tracking mozcast data, EMD was 12-13% earlier which is now 2-3%, but not gone completely yet.

    @Paul

    I think he is not talking about maps listing but he is talking about local results on SERPs from maps. And domain authority and relevancy is a significant factor to rank for local businesses.
