Many businesses ask:
โHow does Google decide who shows up in Maps?โ
The answer comes down to three core factors:
โข relevance
โข distance
โข prominence
Relevance is how well your business matches the search.
Distance is how close you are to the person searching.
Prominence is how authoritative your business appears online.
Most businesses canโt control distance.
But they can absolutely strengthen relevance and prominence.
Thatโs where strategic optimization makes a difference.
