Hi Daniel

I wrote a blog post about how to make the "10pack"
a while back. Its need to be updated for the "7pack" they are
now using but it should give you a good start.

Google Local ranking relies a lot on "citations".
A citation is where your business name and address are mention online by
someone else and yes there is some trust value placed on who mentioned
your business. The easiest place to get these citations are from the internet
yellow pages. Places like citysearch.com, superpages.com.... there are a lot
of internet yellow pages the easiest way to get on the top tier of these is to go to
http://www.universalbusinesslisting.org/
pay your 30 dollars and let them submit your site or just do a search
for internet yellow pages and manually go through them yourself.

Next encourage your customer to give you some reviews.
Yelp.com, judysbook.com.... some of where you should target getting reviews depends on your business type.

The look for local online directory's. The more defined the directory by
category and location the better.

Don't forget to has some user content. Which means somebody has
created a map of/to your business or geotagged a photo.

I have it broke down a little better at

If you want some more help send me a email and I send you more
advice.

google local listing, is this a kind of directory or what , i've never heard of it.

[andyhugh]

You can go to
local.google.com/
and search for business or services.

The main attraction to getting listed in Google local is to
get listed in the "7 pack". Which is a map of local results that
get displayed on the Google's normal search results page like...

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&c...zza&aqi=g-p3g7

You can go to
www.google.com/local/add
and add your business

I have submitted my site on google local listing and it is visible but some of websites are not able to see in Google Loacl Search Result... why?
I have employed the same process for all the websites so why the result is different for all?

[andyhugh]

Which web pages are talking about specially.
Do you mean in you listing how does Google deiced which
pages it will show in the "web pages" section or are you talking
about different websites how some Google will assign a listing to
and other sites it will not?

While optimizing for any keyword if you add your geo location to the keyword it helps you in grabbing some positions in Google ranking

Hi all,

Thanks for your valuable reply.

Google updated their Business Listing Quality Guidelines - Local Business Center Guidelines so you might want to review these if you are already using Google Local.

[raindog]

Thanks - especially to Andy - for some good info. Much appreciated.

You must go at http://www.google.com/local/add/ and verify your listing either via phone or mail.
