    Your site is #1+2, for Currency Exchange Chennai, forget about the local business center listing. I use it for a bunch of customers (hotel owners) and the click through rate from LBC listings on #1 is less than 1%. May be different in other industries, anyone can report other stats here?

    monfis,

    That's interesting, I have never had anyone say that. Typically my clients that I get #1 rankings for in Google Local get better results.
    Partly because the Google local placement is above the organic results and partly because the map draws your eye there.
    But I primarily work with the Dental and Chiropractic markets. Maybe it's different with Dentists and Chiropractors.

    Well yes, another reason for the bad performance of my LBC listed clients might be - their sites are all ranking top where the LBC listing appears too (I am the SEO :D for some reason)
