David Mihm has published his 2009 Local Search Ranking Factor interviews with contributions from 27 folks that work in local.
The study, while anecdotal in nature, manages to capture the wisdom of the many in it’s summary of the factors affecting ranking in local search.
All in all a stellar job with lots of tidbits of knowledge to digest.


Thanks a lot Mike, this article is very informative in local search optimization. The survey has revealed few most important things to be taken care of while doing the optimization job and cleared all the confusion.
