Local Search Ranking Factors

"Local Search has truly arrived in the year since last year's edition of the Local Search Ranking Factors was published. We've seen Google re-brand its Local Business Center as Google Places, begin to show an incredible number of Local-related results for nonspecific search phrases, a handful of review controversies involving Yelp (an increasingly important search engine for business owners to pay attention to), signals from Facebook that they're about to get involved in Local in a major way, and an explosion in the number of location-aware applications and 'games' like Foursquare and Gowalla."
