Online Businesses - Should they be on Google Maps?

Thank you for this.

This settles it. Pure online businesses therefore have no place on Google Maps. This makes sense IMHO. I'll start removing them in my area, and I encourage everyone to do the same world wide!

Dear kozjegyzo, hope all's well.

Look into service area businesses before you jump in, they can be on Maps, as in: https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038163

I will mark these listings as "Spam", as that seems like the most appropriate from the choices available
