Securing your place in the Google local business listings along with proper local maps SEO from us - gives your small business a better chance at appearing at the top of the page for general, competitive terms. Terms you may not rank for yet organically.
Google wants Google Places to succeed and wants to provide it's users with results relevant to their location. As part of that goal, more and more local results are popping up in the top spots. Take "sushi" for example. A search of "sushi" on Google shows listings for restaurants in your area where you can obtain your favorite California roll with a side of edamame. These results are typically first, pushing down the organic results that would otherwise appear.
Now if you're a restaurant owner who sells sushi, you'd love to be at the top spot organically for the term. However, it's hugely competitive and a fairly general term.
