Good point about local businesses. Too many people are focusing on search engines like Google and Yahoo, and forget that if you have a local business, you need local search engines too.

I do agree that the Local Search is increasingly important and popular. However, if it is an ebook or something I guess it would not be a problem to target international audience. Even webinar is available now. It is best to target the local market before moving on to International audience. I do agree that the Local Search is increasingly important and popular.

Like others have said, it's free *and* it gives you the opportunity to write your own description so that you're represented accurately. Even if they don't get much (any) walk-in business, you never know when a customer from miles away will have a look, just to see where you're at. You want to be sure that you show up.

Although as an attorney, I am limited by the geographic region in which I may practice, I can definitely see how certain services miss out on local marketing opportunities. Very interesting.

Your points are very true. Additionally: most basic local search is free, why not take advantage?

Just attended the Search Engine Strategies in London and Local search was one of hot topics. But the grey/black hats are already talking about exploiting local search by getting a “fake” local address for a national companies and hereby getting high rankings locally. Good post.
