Improving the accuracy of Google Maps API results?

Hi,

I'm here with a question regarding Google Maps.

On my site I use Google Maps API to get the location of businesses and place them on a map. However, I've noticed that sometimes the location shown on my site and their actual location is different. While in a number of cases this is simply due to the address perhaps not being quite accurate enough, in some cases it gets it wrong even when the address seems perfect.
Does anyone know of a way the accuracy can be improved? Quite often, Google Maps already has the business so ideally in these cases the location shown on my site would be the same one Google Maps has. We tried to get this to happen by using the name of the business in the query but this didn't help, so either it's not a solution or we were doing it wrong!
