I think its the obvious next step in “local” is the call tracking. This does seem like a bit of a double standard with Google and their local algorithm, but hey I’d love to be able to incorporate into my analytics for clients. Be worth every penny even they charged for it.

I just want Google to sooooo badly start monetizing the local marketplace on a international level so they will then provide solid support the way they to for adwords, so we can clean up G-maps properly for some of these SMB’s. Until they make money we will not see any real support.

Executive suites, up to this point, have been ok with Google. There is an address, reception, a meeting area and if the user goes to that address a human response and ok user experience.

Is there a way for a home based contractor to have a 2nd listing on google local business center using 2nd address (executive suite) in the other city(s)?
He has a landing page for the other city with link back to his home page.

I’m looking to do some local listing ads and do have a local business center ad and am in the San Diego test market. How can I get these started? Anyone know of any firms who can help out?

Thanks!

My business address is my home in Fallbrook. How can I be “found” on local google search in San Diego or Del Mar? Any help appreciated.

@David

It will certainly change the dynamics of adwords that is for sure. I am hoping that Olean NY gets it before you do

I can’t wait for this to become available in the UK!

I’m in.

This will get rid of all the scam listings.

Wonderful!
