Google Maps Listing not appearing publicly

[paul]

I have recently been confirmed by Google with my business, have received the OK from the Google staff, but my business has yet to go public on Maps.

It is verified, I can see it from my profile, but when I log out, it doesn't appear anywhere.

I guess my business isn't properly indexed. Any suggestions?

After you are confirmed, it still takes some time to actually appear. Not sure of the time frame. The last business I added took over a month to actually show after it was approved.

Yeah but it's been 3 months now.. I'm starting to think that I still have to do something in order to get it properly indexed.
Did you just apply, got accepted and then just waited for it to rankin Google Maps?

Each time I have added a new business they sent a post card with a code on it to the address. I then logged back in to that google account and entered the code. About a month or so later the business started showing up in local search and google maps. It has always showed up in local search first, then Google maps later.

Are you actually searching in Google maps or just the Google search bar and not seeing it come up on the first page of results?

After 3 months, the only reason it would not be showing in maps that I can think of is the page was never completed or it was not properly confirmed.
