The usual ways - Google notices you and sends its partnership manager, or you ring them.

THX for the reply. Another dumb question - how does one find and ring the Goog Partnership Manager?

If you want to get your business listed in "Local Businesses" with map placements you can try adding yourself. There are a few hoops to jump through and it can take a couple weeks but everything I have listed through this has shown up in that local maps/business results. [google.com...]

eljuan, I believe google finds you, not the other way around.

Google would actually do a partnership for local listing only with a brand (BIG BRAND) and authority site in that niche.

eljuan, In our case (at two employers), we had long-standing relationships with G and Y, not related to being a content provider, e.g. major supplier of technology, major AdWords customer, major publisher, etc, so the content approach came to us, not the other way around. OTOH, if you are a future big brand but have good content now AND can see a gap in the current G offering, call Google's main number and ask to speak to the partnership manager for Google Maps (or whatever). Don't assume you will get rich (directly) from this relationship. ;)
