Hello,

Does anyone have the magic or know how to rank on/in the Goolge map section? I know there are many services to help rank organically. But are there any services to help you rank in the map/business sections?

Thank!

    As these results are super-localized, the main idea is to optimize the pages you intend to rank for a specific location - make sure to add NAP (it should correspond to your actual business location though), optimize the content for a location, make the most out of your Google My Business and try gaining good Google reviews - some say they affect the maps ranking chances noticeably.

    Pretty interesting. I would guess the reviews and authority of the domain would be the main ranking factors? And obviously an optimised company description

    It's not magic. Just a bit of research and common sense. One of the best free resources explaining maps ranking can be found here.

    It literally tells you everything you need to know and do.

    If you want to put some money into your efforts you could look at Moz Local Services https://moz.com/local/pricingLocal.

    I would say, you should choose proper category and then start asking your customer to write a review from their location and do regular activities on your Linked Google+ page.

    Submit your business to google my business.

    Google will send a confirmation letter to your business address.

    Once you have everything in the system. Find the link to the review page of your business listing and send customers that link to leave reviews.
