Businesses with a physical location — shop, clinic, workshop, restaurant, office — that want to rank in the top positions on Google Maps when someone searches nearby.
When someone searches for a nearby business, Google shows a block of 3 map listings before the regular web results. That block usually takes most of the clicks in local searches: if you're not in those 3 positions, your website can rank well and still go unnoticed.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my website rank well but I don't show up on the map?
They're two different rankings: the map (Local Pack) depends mainly on your Google Business listing, not just your website. You can have one working well and not the other.
How many listings show up in the map block?
Usually 3, right above the regular web results. Those 3 positions capture most of the clicks on searches with local intent.
What matters more for the map: the website or reviews?
Reviews and a fully completed listing (category, hours, photos) usually matter more than the website itself for landing in those top positions.
Do I need a physical store to show up on the map?
Yes, the Local Pack is built for businesses with a real location or defined service area, not for purely online businesses with no physical presence.
