Interacting with a verified location? - Google Maps

Ok so there are loads of Businesses marked on Google Maps these days.

But I cannot interact with these in any way.

This is the information I have:

venue name: Ministry of Sound

address: 103 Gaunt Street London, SE1 6DP

Google's Geolocation only gives me

  • Coordinates (lat, long)
  • Formatted Address


I want an application to access this page -> Ministry of Sound - Google Page

I would like to:

  • Add reviews (eg. sites like Qype, ViewLondon, Frommers do it!)
  • Add photos and videos
  • Add Other Content

Also I would like to:

  • Link an address to the Business automatically if possible

eg. if the business shares the same address


Edit:

SilentGhost said "Google just indexes and aggregates information from the sites"

If the only way to get reviews and information on the site is to get it indexed...

how do I tell Google that what my site contains are:

  • Photo of the Venues
  • Reviews of the Venue
  • Information about the Venue?

Help would be very much appreciated. thanks! :)

In response to your edited question:

You should look at microformats like hReview, Google indexes and uses these in search results if not on the page you linked to. See: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/05/introducing-rich-snippets.html
