    to improve google local search, you need to add all the things related to your business, like your products video, images etc. give a description with your main keywords.

    Be very careful when you are choosing categories for your local business. Choosing more categories will help you in getting better rankings for more keywords.

    You submit your site in local business but only specific categories like you have software site then you submit your site only computer categories.

    And remember your submit your site only more then 1 PR sites not waste your time to submit your site in PR0 rank sites.

    Build backlinks for local Google searches....

    For example if your site is based around cars and you live in China....

    You want to target the keywords of "Cars in China" that's targeting local Google search.

    Use the name of your locality along with the main key phrase as anchor texts for incoming links. For example, if you are a Florida based SEO Company and if you want to optimize your website around Florida, use keywords like Florida SEO or SEO Florida. However, do not overdo it.

    Wow, most of the advice in this thread is actually very wrong and won't help with local listings.

    Google Local, now Google Places has a totally different algo than organic search.
    You don't even need a web site to rank high in Places so link building tips above like have your KW in anchor don't really apply that much.

    There are about 50 criteria that go into the Places ranking algo and of course Google does not tell you what those are.

    One of the most important things is DATA integrity!

    Your business name, address and phone need to be an EXACT match on various high authority sites, directories, yellow pages, etc.
    If your Place page lists you as ABC Dental and your directory listings are ABC Dental - Dr. Smith or if your Place page has Suite 402 and
    your directory listings have #402 then your data won't match up and you won't get the benefit of the 'trust points' Google is looking for.

    If you care to share a link to your Place page, I'm happy to take a look and see if I can give you any other pointers.

    Hope this helps and best of luck!

    You would have to add your business data like site URL,address,name & description in local directories,yellow pages as well as get back links from other local quality sites of your niche.

    create meta tag wisely for your site and use Off page techniques for getting good result.
    use link exchange, article submission and social bookmarking techniques for getting traffic and bl.

    Social bookmarking is the best way to increase your Google search.

    The 2 previous posts are for ORGANIC search.

    I don't think those things help with Google LOCAL search which is a totally different algo.
    You don't even need to have a website to rank high in Google LOCAL, so how can back linking and bookmarking even be used???

    Good on-page optimization and more good backlinks than your competition.
