Get Local Search Traffic and Score!

The trend in the last few years has been local search – it’s so obvious.
Google, in particular, has done a lot to enhance local search and you can tell it has been on their minds for years. There’s Google Places (http://www.google.com/places/) which really helps with local search and since last year (2011), Google has been giving you results based on where you search from. This only makes sense since the market is flooded with mobile devices like smart phones and tablets (iPads). Service over cellular networks has greatly improved as well (yes, even with AT T). People are mobile and have learned that they can search for things around where they currently are and get good results.
The begs the question……
