Google Place Listings

• Google Local Listings can be defined as the
  business listings in the map that you usually see
  at the top or at the middle of Google first page
  results. These listings tend to show up when you
  search for a keyword accompanied by a specific
  city.
• As a result, these local search results are
  different from the organic results and sponsored
  pay per click listings.

1. How To Submit

• The process of submitting your listing is very
  straight forward.
• You have to open an account in the Google Local
  Business Center and fill out the information
  needed. If your business is already listed and
  you don't have access to it, claim it and verify
  it. This provides authority to your profile.

• My advice here - make sure your profile is 100
  complete with the business information such as
  email, business hours, payment options, services,
  coupons, photos and videos. You can upload up to
  10 photos and link up to 5 YouTube videos as
  well.

2. How To Optimize

• One of the most important factors when optimizing
  for local search is to add your business in other
  places besides Google local. Make sure you add
  the same information on all the sites you add
  your business to.
• This point is extremely important as Google
  prefers to see the same business information when
  it crawls all the available data on the web.

• If you try to dupe the engines by providing false
  or inaccurate information across different
  platforms it can easily detect this, hence its
  highly recommended to keep the business listing
  information consistent across all platforms.

3. How To Track

  traffic that your Google Maps listings sends to
  your website
• Accessing the Google local Business Center
  Dashboard.
• Track your listing traffic using a dedicated
  profile within Google Analytics.
• And many mores.
