Google Places Is Vital For Local Business Owners
I know I've banged on about Google Places for what seems like forever, but it's too important to ignore. Finally, I've found something which shows you exactly why claiming your Google Places page could be the best thing you ever did to bring a consistent flow of high quality leads directly to your door.
Below is an image from a blog post, Eye-Tracking Google SERPS - A Tale Of Pizza from SEOmoz. The brighter the colour the more time was spent viewing this part of the page. Notice how atrong the colour is over the Local listings. Here is an excerpt from the findings:
"These results also suggest that the in-page Local/Places results are having a strong impact, even if they fall in the middle of the page. In these limited cases, they seemed to pull attention away from the top organic spots. If your query has a local flavor, you need to be aware of how your Google Places page is competing."
