People could actually set this up for people, charge a flat fee of £20 quid for doing something people could do themselves for free.

People would actually pay for someone to do it rather than look into doing it themselves for free.

considering it is free , i thought it was a great thing for any small business , esp if people are using google maps - it will flag up your company and then you can add any details for people to see

Google maps is great for local businesses. It's always likely a phone directory or some other site will score higher in the search engines even for the name of many businesses, so Google maps redresses the balance and lets local businesses score on keywords relevant to their business type and location.

I've seen some online marketing companies charge £250 to add companies to the local businesses centre :mad:.

Also make sure that you include what your business does in the business name. E.g. xyz computer repairs. As that will ensure that your business will be listed when a search for computer repairs {town\area} is searched on.
