Google Maps Verified ListingWhen you view a specific listing on Google Maps it may show "Verified Listing" or "Owner-Verified Listing." A Google Places Help thread asks what is the difference between the two?

Some local experts are thinking that Google is simply testing different terminology to see what text works best.
