I want to point exact location of an IP address on Google Maps or any other service. I want the marker to be exact. How can I do it, using which service, either at cost or free of cost?

Just to make the answer official, no geo-location service can reliably provide that kind of accuracy. You can be reasonably sure of the city/town and that's about it... assuming no deliberate attempt to hide their location like VPN, TOR, etc.
If your users are cooperating, then you could build your own geo-location service that, for example, uses GPS from a phone when it is connected through a WiFi router and reports that back to your service.
