Hi David,

There are several parts to understand about Local Business Listings and I will try to focus on the primary items to give you a starting point.

1. Local Business Listings show on the first page of a search, making it important that you find how to use this marketing tool.

2. Once you have claimed (or verified) your listing you will be able to put your marketing information into them. This includes company description, keywords, images, photos, videos, coupons, offers, discounts, events, promotions.

3. You can get customers who are satisfied with your business to post positive ratings and reviews, which also helps with prospects to who find your listing.

4. While Google is the primary one to focus on - Google Places - there are over 200+ websites in this industry which Google uses to validate your business...these are called Citations. Meaning just working on Google is not really a good thing. There are other websites that fall into five categories: search engines, social communities, 411 websites, GPS websites, and business directories

Whether you are B2C, B2B or Internet Business you want to at minimum claim our listings so they are not hijacked by someone else.

Hope this helps give you some description about Local Business Listings and certainly feel free to ask other questions.

I'm a Top Contributor at the Google Places forum and help people all day with Google Places problems.

So I wanted to stress, before even starting to create your Google Place page, be sure to read the guidelines. There are lots of subtle rules that are easy to miss and if you violate you can get your listing suspended. So read and follow the rules carefully.

As far as ranking on Google Places...

Keyword searches show businesses in order of relevance based on a sophisticated Google ranking algo. (Actually there are 2 separate algos.)

Think of Google local rankings like a giant, extremely complicated puzzle (likely over 300 pieces).

Whoever has the largest number of the most important pieces in the right places wins and gets to rank on page 1. (For that particular keyword and city). If you are not well optimized and/or are missing lots of important puzzle pieces you can end up on page 5.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

For local listing, you have correct address for your site, Because it verified by google, Which is page you landing on searching, Must have same address, which is you post. Add your site some business portal sites.

You will have submit your link at google places with your business address. After completion the formalities they will send you a letter on given address with a unique code. Your account will be confirmed when you put those codes in verification box. It may take two weeks. (as in my case.)
