A Google My Business listing can be ‘social’ or ‘local’ and also ‘social & local’. There are many different kinds of pages that business owners can have. However, it needs to be verified with ‘local’ to be used with the Google Maps and Business products. Meaning, it must be connected to ‘Maps’.

Who does not qualify to have a Google Local listing?

Businesses that are under construction or that have not yet opened to the public are not eligible for a listing on Google Places.

Rental or for-sale properties, such as vacation homes or vacant apartments, are not eligible to be listed on Google Maps and should not be verified. Instead, verify the listing for your sales or leasing office or offices. If you have a property with an on-site office, you may verify that office location

You can’t create Places listings for stores which you do not own, but which stock your products.

You also can’t create a Places listing for an ongoing service, class, or meeting at a location that you don’t own or have the authority to represent. Please coordinate with your host to have your information displayed on their Place Page within their Description field.
