Your perspective is a bit skewed here towards the software world. There are businesses on every street-corner in the US, and for that matter world, without any meaningful internet presence or need for great search engine ranking. And for that matter, consumer products and consumer-facing businesses are only a subset of the $20T+ economy of the US.
- nine_k 5y agoThese businesses without internet presence usually still want to be shown on g.maps. OTOH maps add businesses even if the businesses don't add themselves.
- unishark 5y agoThat falls under what I'd call not a meaningful internet presence because it is google handing over the same info from maps and business directories.
