If the services your business provide cover a distinct area like your local town or suburb you cannot fail to have noticed the importance of google maps. In some instances you may find it frustrating that your competitors are higher up in the list than you as this could mean they are business that could have been yours.
Your ultimate aim is for google to find your business by typing in the type of work you do (and in the case of google maps - your local area).
