Hi kaybee,

It sounds like you are talking about adding a Places label. Google adds these to well established businesses. Here's a good article that I was just reading that talks about how to do it.

You've all seen this before. You're exploring Google Maps, and you see businesses that are listed directly on the map. Have you ever wondered why some businesses show up with their own label, while others don?t? Well, you're not alone...

?the elusive Places Label is now more attainable.

In the past, acquiring a Places Label for your business was a seemingly random occurrence, as Google attempted to verify the locations of businesses algorithmically.
