Google Places
When someone uses Google to find information on the internet, Google searches what can be described simply as a website catalog and then displays a list of links to websites (called search results) that are shown to have the information relevant to the search term. Based on information the web crawlers found on each page, Google knows what to display when someone does a Google search. The order in which the search results are displayed is determined by Google and their special processes. Google has created a special algorithm that determines which pages appear before others in the list. Algorithms vary by search engine and are generally kept confidential to prevent abuse. Google Places is a separate directory of businesses that also displays on the search engines results page. We recommend that all local businesses claim and optimize their Places listing.

Positioning Your Places Listing
Google controls approximately 72% of the search market so focusing on Google Places makes sense for local businesses. The steps to gain top ranking have altered. Google recently changed the way it displays Places listings by incorporating information gathered from other local "Directory" sites. These sites include, Yahoo, Bing, Yelp and other local listings.
