    If you use Google adwords when you make a campaign there is targetting tool that helps much. you can even radius-target exact cities. then you get only visitors from exact area

    If you're asking how you go about ranking well with the Google + Local listings, then there is only a long answer to that questions.

    I would start by learning the Local Ranking Factors on David Mihm's site. Just google "David Mihm Local Ranking Factors." At the bottom of the page you'll see a huge list of items. Just look through each one and pay particular attention to the following:

    1) Structured citations (business directory submissions). Add images and videos, descriptions and links to each one you can.
    2) Unstructured citations - these are business mentions on sites like YouTube, Dailymotion, local classified sites, etc.

    * a citation is the business Name, Address and phone number displayed like so:

    Business Name
    123 Anywhere St.
    Beverly Hills, CA 90210
    (555) 555-1023

    3) Website optimization - create a landing page for the location (ie: www.website.com/beverly-hills-ca/). David's article spells out some very specific items that should be on that page.
    4) Correct completion of the local listing - pay particular attention to Google's guidelines (Just search for them). If you screw up here, your listing could get deleted pretty quick.
    5) Build high quality backlinks to the main page and to the landing page.

    Hope that helps.

    There are now factors that you need to consider in ranking a website locally. For example, Google has G+ local business page, local business listing and local map listing. These are major factors in determining your rank for a particular place.

    Of course, keywords play a very significant role. You have to choose your targeted keywords in order to rank for the place you prefer.

    1 Business’s receiving details from multiple sources tend to rank higher than others. This means that you should have your business listing in multiple local search engines including Super Pages and Insider Pages.
    2 Surprisingly the top 4 results belonged to restaurants in well known hotels. This could mean that Google places more trust on established hotels and therefore ranking them higher.
    3 Yelp.com is one of Google Local’s main providers for restaurant reviews.

    Include useful high-quality information on your site.

    Create content that users want and will share with others.
    Submit your site to various web directories and reference sites.

    A web directory “specializes in linking to other web sites and categorizing those links,” according to HighSearchRanking.com.

    Post your site’s URL (web address) to popular web directories including Open Directory Project (ODP), Yahoo!, and LookSmart. Also post your URL to online reference, e.g., Wikipedia, industry-specific expert sites, blogs, etc.
    Publicize your site to everyone with whom you communicate.

    Add your site’s URL, e.g., www.googleguide.com, to every piece of communication you initiate. The TechSoup (The Technology Place for Nonprofits) article, Publicizing Your Web Site: Getting the message out there, recommends that “your Web address should be listed everywhere that your phone/fax number and mailing address,” e.g.,

    Business cards
    Letterhead
    Newsletters
    Brochures
    Press Releases
    Fax cover sheets
    Email signatures

    Write a newsletter and send it out.

    Inform people what’s new or noteworthy on your site. The newsletter will remind people about your site and encourage them to visit to find interesting content.
    Provide a Rich Site Summary (RSS).

    RSS is also known as Really Simple Syndication. JISC describes RSS as “a lightweight XML format for distributing news headlines and other content on the Web.”

    In addition to making it easy for other sites to distribute your headlines and content, your RSS feed will be indexed by popular Blog search engines, including Technorati, BlogSearch, and Ask.com Bloglines.
    Ask other high-quality websites to link to your website.

    Getting other “good” websites to link to yours usually helps your website’s PageRank and ranking on Google.

    Note: If your site links to delisted websites, your website might also be removed from Google’s index.

    Provide motivation for highly ranked websites to link to yours.

    Getting highly ranked sites to link to yours will improve your ranking more than getting many poorly ranked sites to link to yours.

    Note: If Google suspects that you’ve traded links with other sites for the sole purpose of improving your ranking, it might penalize or blacklist your site.

    Check out a site before you link back.

    When you receive a request for a link, check the site before you link back. Is it a site worthy of your link, i.e., vote of confidence? Would a link be of value to your page’s visitors?
    Tell the press about your site.

    Telling the press may not get your website publicity. After making Google Guide live, I emailed local, national, and international press and got a poor response to our publicity.

    Next I emailed journalists who specialize in search engines, but again few wrote articles about Google Guide.

    Then I emailed reviewers of books on using Google. A handful responded. Some wrote that Google Guide was for novices; others wrote that Google Guide was tailored for advanced users. Wanting to make Google Guide appeal to novices and experts alike, I indicated sections that would appeal to particular users, e.g.,

    If you have little or no experience with Google, read on. Otherwise, skip to the next section, titled “Go to the First Result.”
    We recommend that you skip ahead to Part II: Understanding Search Results unless you’re an experienced Google user or you want to know how to use Google’s advanced operators.

    After several months of emailing potential users and posting to websites, libraries, schools, and users began linking to Google Guide.

    I tried again to get national press coverage by contacting John Markoff from the New York Times. After a few attempts, I was quoted in an article about Search Engine Wars and afterwards Google Guide got over 50,000 unique visitors/day for the following week and traffic has been good ever since.

    On the basis of a suggestion from Matt Vance, I created the Google Guide Cheat Sheet and announced it on Slashdot, which generated great publicity, along with a few flames; within 24 hours, the Cheat Sheet went from being ranked so poorly I couldn’t even find it to being ranked #2 (after Google’s cheat sheet).
    Keep your website up.

    If your website is not accessible for an extended period of time, Google may reduce the ranking of your site.
    Give away content.

    I publish Google Guide under a Creative Commons License to enable others to copy, distribute, and make derivative works, as long as they give Nancy Blachman credit and link to Google Guide.

    If most of your site’s content is commercial — e.g., pages about your business — consider adding other pages with useful information for the public. For example, if you sell bicycles, include pages or a blog about bicycle paths, bicycle gear, or with tips on bicycling. Publicize these and encourage others to link to them.
    Translate your website into foreign languages.

    If you don’t know a foreign language, find others that do. Erik Hoy, a librarian, emailed me asking if he could use some material from Google Guide on Copenhagen Main Library’s website. I suggested that he translate the whole thing into Danish, which he did.

    Recently Google Guide was translated into Hebrew.
    Search Google for your website.

    Instead of entering your URL into your browser, search Google for your site. Google is more apt to improve the ranking of a site that users seek and visit than one that gets no traffic from Google.

    When I first made this site publicly available, Google Guide wasn’t in the first 100 sites on searches for [ Google guide ]. Thanks to the sites that linked to Google Guide and users who clicked on Google Guide in their search results, Google Guide is in the top ten results for many queries that relate to the content of the site. Being listed so highly on Google has improved the traffic flow to Google Guide.

    This is very solid advice, I just checked this guys website and can vouch he knows what he is talking about. You have to think for a moment and realize how important ranking locally is a business and the competition out there. If you're unfamiliar with the subject I suggest leaving it to the pro's as you're dealing with others income streams.

    There are many ways to promote your site in a particular location, or doing SEO for that location.

    For both purposes, you should consider these:

    Find forums based in the location
    Find classifieds sites in the location
    Find social networking sites in the location
    Blogs can also be for any particular location

    you have to use these source for promotion, which would work for SEO too.
