The ability to search maps for local businesses online has taken over Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Less than half of small businesses have yet to create their online presence, opening up a door for your business to increase it’s market share dramatically.

Google Places Local Search Results appear when search engines display “geo-targeted” information. In the example above, there is a Google search result for “New York Pizza”. As you can see, a map was at the top of the search results with 7 businesses being featured. From this map, users can visit the businesses website, get driving direction, or even read reviews from other users. Google, Yahoo, and Bing display these map references when they determine that the search term has local intent. These top 7 business listings are referred to as the 7-pack.
