Google Maps Pin

[Jeffrey]

What would you all say is the most effective way to get my businesses pin to show up on my building when no search has been done?

Place labels are decided by the algorithm so not every business gets them. I started a study on them (which I ran out of time to complete) and the biggest factor thusfar is the category. If you're a restaurant or golf course, for example, you'd be more likely to get one than a dentist. I also believe they are likely based on actions on the listing (how many people drive there, visit the store etc).

OK, this is really great to know. Thanks Joy
