Local Search Optimization
Local Search is, without question, one of the most valuable assets a company with regional offices can engage in to impact search results. With the advent of mobile applications, Google Places, and the increase of geo-targeted searches, Local Search is a primary focus of many companies in their marketing efforts.
Practically any geo-targeted keyword phrase query in Google is now returning a Google Places Result above the natural results. Additionally, branded phrases without a geo-targeted keyword are also showing Places results in Google.
Are you appearing where you need to be?
