Local results appear for people who search for businesses and places near their location.

For example, if you ask for “Italian restaurants” in Ask Maps, you can get local results showing nearby restaurants you’d want to visit.

Several factors are combined by Google’s ranking systems to find the best match or matches for your search: primarily relevance, distance, and prominence.

For example, if what you’re looking for is likely in a business that’s farther away from you, Google’s ranking systems might decide to rank it higher in local results.

Tip: Payment from other companies doesn’t influence results in Ask Maps. Paid content in Google Maps is labeled.

If available in your country and you have enabled Personalized Recommendations, Ask Maps uses your account data to personalize responses. This information may come from sources such as:

• Your interactions with places on the map.

• Places rated or reviewed by you.
• Your home and work addresses, if you set them in your account.

When you enter a destination in Ask Maps, we show you how to get there by different travel modes, like driving, transit, cycling, or walking.

The transport options we show you are ranked based on the combination of factors designed to help you find relevant and useful info. These factors can include duration, distance, price, mode preference, or the relevance of an option to your query. Generally, the most important factors are relevance, duration, and sometimes price.

Where available, we also show you mobility services like public transport that are provided by third parties who have made their transport data publicly available or who have a partner agreement with us. Any partnerships or business relationships we may have with any transportation service providers do not influence the ranking of these services.
