    Tell me for which keyword you want your site on local Google? And also give me your site URL. I think I will help you on this concern.

    Google Local Listing: Today it is one of the hot topics in google's search engine optimization. It is little bit tricky to get position in google SERPs. If you would like to be listed in Local Search Results, you have to do following activity. This will help you to be listed in google. These are as follows:
    1. Listed your business with Keywords(That can be used as title of the company).
    2. Review your listed business and Put your listed business at your website with Physical address.
    3. Submit your website in local directories and Map review sites.
    4. try to take some good quality links for your map listed page in website.
    5. don't change your targeted keyword time to time, Just stick with that keyword and get good results in few days or months.

    Hello online_eye

    First you need to add your website profile on Google local business center which you can find here https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=lbc

    After you have your website listed in there then try to take links back from your local website like local directories, local forums, local article websites etc and google will automatically boost your ranking in these local listings as you have showed in the image.

    One thing you should know before enrolling for this is that it will boost your ranking in your local google domain only like if you are UK based then your website ranking will increase in google.co.uk domain only.

    Hope this helps,
