    How does one optimize your site in google maps in order to get top ranking in the "ten pack"?

    Hi

    Okay here are a few ideas on how to rank high in the local search.

    1) Ensure you have reviews from other google users, when i say google users I mean users that have accounts with google as you need to be signed in to review.

    2) Ensure you have all the information filled in that google asks for on the local business centre.

    3) Try and get as many quality backlinks from local bodys. This could be anything from a local directory to your local football club. The more sites that link to your website that contain your local region the better.

    I was able to move 7 places in 2 hours just by adding 2 reviews.

    Finally check what your compeition is linking to and what the name of the sites are, you can then go to those sites and try and get links.

    that's it.
