In December, I heard Bruce Clay say something to the effect on a recent SEM Synergy Podcast that Google local/global search is something like 20/80 but that in the near future, he sees that flipping to 80/20 for local/global. You are already starting to see it as Google broadens the terms it interprets with local search intent, regardless of whether a location is used in some cases in the query or not. Just search for “optimitrist” and you will see what I mean. The Google 7 pack is the place to be.

Local for services businesses with in=person delivery, is the foundation of a solid search strategy since their market is limited.
