Google in a recent blog post Said That is, they will experimentally display the logo on the location of the business on Google Maps. Google calls it “Promoted Pins”. Companies that pay Google for advertising will have their company logo displayed on their office location on Google Maps.

All in all, Promoted Pins is a type of ad / ad that you will see when viewing the map. By clicking on this logo you will be able to see their product list along with the site visit of that company directly.

Even those who pay Google for the Maps service, their company name will appear first in the location search results.

For example, you search Google Maps for restaurants in your area. There Google Map will show the names of all the restaurant companies that have paid Google near you in the map search list first. Of course, it will say that it is the result of advertising.

This may not be a bad thing at all, because after all, Google is a business that earns the lion’s share of the profits by selling ads. But in this advertising competition, the question remains as to how small companies that can’t afford to pay to Google can express themselves.
