Why is Google Local important to me?
To find out why Google Local is important to your business, look no further than the actions of Google themselves:
In 2010:
Google renamed their “Google Local Business Center” to “Google Places”. Why the sudden change? Here’s what Google said:
Millions of people use Google every day to find places in the real world, and we want to better connect Place Pages – the way that businesses are being found today – with the tool that enables business owners to manage their presence on Google.
In 2012:
Google merged those same Places Pages with its own social network named “Google+”, the result was “Google+ Local”. Google+ Local was rolled out on May 30, 2012 and with it came an incorporation of Zagat scores into the Google review structure.
Today, we’re rolling out Google+ Local, a simple way to discover and share local information featuring Zagat scores and recommendations from people you trust in Google+.
And this statistic shows the cause behind the effect:
Google releases data stating that 20% of searches have local intent. Which equates to about 2.8 billion searches in total. Yes… 2.8 billion
Local Intent
As Google recognizes a search to have “local intent”, it displays the 7-Pack to bring its user a better result and a better experience for their search. It even goes as far as to present the 7-pack prominently above the SERPs along with a map to the right that displays the same 7-pack businesses in their geographical location within the area. Essentially, this means being one of these seven businesses is extremely valuable to the overall success of your business, and your bottom line.
Just results, no fluff… if your Google Places ranking is low or non-existent, we will get you where you want and need to be… in the lead.
Customers are unable to walk through your doors when they don’t know you exist.

Studies have shown that as early as 2010, 97% of consumers are now going online when looking to find a local supplier. Google themselves released data showing that a whopping 20% of searches have local intent! Enter Google Places Pages, these statistics alone emphasize just how vital and valuable ranking within top 7 Google Places (7-Pack) listings has become to the success of any local business.
Since the introduction of Google Places, business owners have steadily become more and more proactive in their efforts to obtain front page placement within their local market. Initially, getting into the Google Places 7-Pack was as simple as verifying your listing, adding your services, and uploading a catchy photo for good measure. However, these tactics alone are no longer enough to obtain a top spot; increased awareness has caused the competition for this prime piece of online real estate to skyrocket.
