How to optimize your Google Places/Maps Listing:

• Use keywords in your business name
• Use keywords in your business description
• Use keywords in your online reviews from City Search, Trip Advisor, insiderpages.com, Judy’s list and other web 2.0 sites
• Add the name of your city in your link text especially from local websites
• Your ranking will show higher based on proximity to the search location (Universal search gives less weight to proximity)
