Back in December and before then, Gmaps was showing distance from a town central point.
At times they ranked sites with this aspect taking precedence
They are no longer showing distance from a central town location.
I'm seeing some rankings by alpha category as in a phone book. In other cases I'm not.
Some highly ranked sites are or have been out of business for years. Some don't have any or even the most minute amount of references, ratings, etc. Some don't have websites but are out of directories.
I'm wondering if G maps has deals with directories. I'm going to back and check some of the business deals. Could paying a certain directory push the site up in G maps?
also I saw one site ranking high w/ relatively few references but with a g coupon. could that have an impact?
