    Maybe because those business cater nation wide. they may be located on the west coast, but they probably offer their services or products all over the U.S.

    This is pretty interesting to research for, As I have found many times that if you search for Marietta then it also shows result of Atlanta because they both are nearest cities, but this has total opposite situation to handle with. I should come up with a good answer by Tomorrow. I'll discuss this with my friends.

    Thanks

    Where are they appearing? Organic or paid results, or within map results on a SERP?

    Local SEO
    Local SEO is very confusing to many but if understood; the principles that apply are so simple. There is no magic bullet for local SEO and it is pure hard work and more of an art than a magic formula.

    Search results
    Search term results returned by a search engine that are derived from what the search engine itself thinks is important as opposed to returning paid listings or advertisements.

    well, seems, that no one knows: my site is good seo position for local search, my competition are next to me coming up in search, if i am changing location by different zip code, my competition are still there for the same keywords/terms but my site is not. Why? and how to make site better searchable in different areas?
