Is it possible to advertise with the sponsored links (adwords) exclusively on local Google Maps?
I would like to advertise exclusively within the local Google Maps. I want to be in the "sponsored links" box on top. Is it possible for my ad to just show up there on Google maps? I am new to adwords and cannot find an answer on their website.

Google offers opportunity to earn money for the small business owner of local places using google ten pack local business listing. It is 100% free for the owner having contact number and physical address and you cannot include your ads here. By default content network is checked in google adwords. Donot uncheck it, your ad will be visible in google search and google network sites.
I have not seen an adwords targeting option to just show up in the maps tab, I suspect the ads are selected wholly on context. If the ads showed up in an adsense style you could target the site network placement ads.
Pardon me for mentioning what's probably way basic, the "Local business results" that show up next to a little map in the main web search results, when a city in included in the search are free entries, one does not need a web site to be listed, a phone number of mailing address is used to confirm the physical store existence.
