Important:
- Google Maps contains content from different sources. Your Maps results may include information from our partners, our users or the public web. Google may remove content if we learn that it violates our content policies or if it violates applicable laws.
- Local search results in Maps are based primarily on relevance, distance and prominence.These factors are combined to help find the best match for your search. For example, Google algorithms might decide that a business that's farther away from you is more likely to have what you're looking for than a business that's closer. Therefore, it will rank higher in local results.
- Results in Google Maps are not influenced by payment from other companies. Paid content in Google Maps is labelled.
