No. I'm responsible for a site that has one of the largest implementations of Google Maps (per impressions) outside of Google Maps itself (in Australia). Both with that, and with overlay (including links) of data, we have seen on 1million+ pages that with or without Google Maps has zero effect on the page's ranking. I'm not going to speculate on the ...

Try to reach the source from where these search engines are picking up information. It might be the case that even after getting removed from main site, search-engines are updating it from other sources. I recommend you better update the phone number instead of removing it. Request these sites individually to update your phone number. It will be permanent ...

The limit is 1000 different images, per person [not site], per day. Are you really sure this is even a concern for you? Anyway, from the full ToS: You must not pre-fetch, cache, or store any Content, except that you may store: (i) limited amounts of Content for the purpose of improving the performance of your Maps API Implementation if you do so ...

I think your question at the end may be the problem. Google say There shouldn't be more than one listing per physical location. Even if you're a doctor who is a cardiologist and a chiropractor or a service that covers multiple towns, you shouldn't have two listings. Instead, use the description of your business or categories to explain the ...

I'm not sure what you're trying to do with these different domains and iframe approach. But I can tell you that Google does not consider the content in the iframe on pressurecleaningandsealing.com to be part of that site. Google associates all that content with the site being iFramed. There is no way Google will put that site on the map doing things this ...

Results are ranked based on your search terms plus proximity - relevance and prominence. Proximity can be determined by your location, your viewport (what map is appearing prior to your keyword search) or your search terms (if you have keywords plus location). Those factors all contribute to whether or not your listing appears.

The crawlers cannot interact with the map, so cant follow the links on in. Create a sitemap.xml of your content and send it via webmaster tools. Other way, you can create KML files with your points and put a description of each point.

Here's a 2009-vintage blog post, How to Get “Show Map of” Tag to Appear in Google Results by Michael David in Tasty Placement, which claims to have the answer. The method: Generate a Geo Sitemap, a small KML file which names a destination (like a business), and describes the location of that destination with a place name and a latitude/longitude. Register ...

According to the Maps Product Manager, the actual pricing you'll see depends on several factors and works on a sliding scale. The Register says that Premier licenses start at $10,000/year. I've also seen that number cited several other places. So, while waiting for a real response you can start your deliberations from there, I guess. But it's going to be of ...

You need to use microformats or as Google calls them, rich snippets. This blog post contains links to Google's information on the subject. http://blumenthals.com/blog/2010/09/22/google-announces-full-support-for-microformats-in-local/

i would take a look at Google Places you could claim for each business and customise the information. this would then be used as the default in maps and you could just re-enforce that by using the hCard format on the website. i have not seen anything that allows you to explicitly set a default business though. I would guess though depending on the search ...
