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.

Please consider leaving a comment as your input will help me (& everyone else) better understand and learn about local.
