Can anyone give some good ideas on how to get a favorable listing in the Google Local Business Results? I have been beating my head against the wall trying various things and nothing has worked. Thanks for everyone's help and ideas.
Toss "favorable" out the window and start thinking about it differently. What do you see in the box? How big is the box? What are the addresses displayed in the box? And what are the real addresses of the businesses?
I understand the whole address thing. That is what I did previously. I created a listing with a centric address to the city but something has changed because I cant get anything to show up. I really dont care what position I am in as long as it is one of the 7. It is very aggravating, I spend 1k a month on Adwords but cant get a listing to show in the free part. When I had my old listing it performed better then adwords.
local business listing is little bit tricky, I tried many things myself and finally i my business showed up after of course verification of the physical address. One thing I learned reviews help but they aren't the only one. I also had to add the main keyword after my business name and so far it worked. Good luck
First list in your address is properly (Address is most important ) Google list in your business with exact location map in your address. You can get more traffic from your google listing
