So, it is certainly no secret that mobile’s on the go capability is certainly key to local search and also approximately a third of all-important searches performed on several mobile devices that are generally related to some important locations.
The leading online search engine Google is concerned about controlling approximately 95% of the mobile search market share.

According to Mobile Application Report, Google Maps actually overtook the Google search app for fourth place in a number of unique visitors with approximately 95 million users.

There is a common perception that SMBs searches in Google Maps are entirely different compared to those of using the main Google search box. It indeed makes partial sense. The main reason is that the intent apparent through a search for restaurants located with a specific geographical area is indeed much more targeted and so the results are indeed pared down most importantly from similar search box queries that may actually result in numbers of outcomes. But, the common belief is that every restaurant on the Google map generally shows up on the complete list of results at some points if you kept scrolling is misplaced.
If any user clicks on the Next button for more outcomes or just continues scrolling down, Google Maps generally zoom out and then leave the area of the original search, instead of offering search results from a broader geographic area.
