But if Google does in fact use the Local record to add local authority to the video and thus display it in the Universal results on a “Product/Service + City”search that would be ideal!

It certainly opens up a new avenue for local promotion if done correctly.

How cool is that? He seems like a very brilliant fellow.

So many businesses can benefit from video if they have the resources to implement it. Getting across the point that there is a real person/real people behind a website has the power to boost an immediate feeling of trust to the nth degree. Now, with this being a part of Maps, I can’t think of a better way to differentiate a business from its competitors.
