With the new changes the Google+ page has replaced Google Places in the blended Maps search results. With data from a merged Plus +Local Business page.
The first option is to go to the Google Product Forums – Google and Your Business and try the Help Articles. For some issues like Pending Review you may find an answer in the Google+ Local Help Forum. You need to be aware posts in there are indexed so use shortened URLs and do not give emails.

If you are making a new Google Places entry, which shows as a Google Plus Local page, I do the technical support for a Google Places Ebook which is a comprehensive guide to making a good entry compliant to all of the hidden rules as well. I offer 15 minutes of consultancy with the purchase for advice and troubleshooting.
Soon the current search Google+ Local page which is driven by the current Places entry will be replaced by it merging, or creating for you, with your matching Google+ (Local) Business page set up in your Google+ Profile.

For complicated issues such as, Suspended or ‘Quiet Purgatory’ accounts, or entries stuck in Pending Review, I offer private support to guide you and expedite a recovery of your search listing.
