Google certainly ban them from their map, as "service area businesses 
without a storefront" 
, 
for the above reasons.  There are, of course, a lot of such businesses 
actually on Google, and probably even more on Bing, because businesses 
see these as advertising directories not as maps (you can find these on 
OSM as well, typically with a very long description in marketing-speak).


Google do allow them in their business directory services.

Not all authorities follow these rules; I have in the past had to

Incidentally, Google has the concept of a service area business with no

are caught out, they will be removed, because Google take the position 
that people will not actually visit the business at that location.
