google forum have some discussion about this one..http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Places/thread?tid=7a44dd5f90a5affd&hl=en hope it can help..
Local listing optimization is based on review. you can see my website on the top of his keyword " Packers Movers Gurgaon " my site is http://www.packersmoversin.com/ what is your keyword and functional area.
Including the exact location of you service on your anchor text when your are link building could help on local listing.. try to get listed on local directories too like on the state, city or county your site belongs..
This system is made up of 2 main components, a backend for people to create, update, and even delete information about their place of business. When a Google local listings shows up in the serch results, basic contact information such as Business Name, Address, Phone Number, website url, and reviews is diplayed in a list along with 3 or 7 other businesses relevant to the keywords that is being searched.
