Google+ Local pages are being integrated to Google Search, Google Maps, and Google Mobile.
Find local recommendations from your circles
Integrated tools with more to come!
Build out your personal Google+ profile and begin forming connections via Google+ circles in order to develop your individual authority beyond your Google+ Page and Google+ Local page.Get in the habit of posting updates and connecting with followers on your Google+ Page.Encourage customers at your local business to leave reviews on your new Google+ Local page, although they’ll need to have active Google accounts to leave feedback.Email all of your newsletter subscribers who signed up with Gmail accounts and ask that they “+1” your Google+ properties and leave reviews on your pages.
Use a phone number in your Google+ Local listing that contains the area code of the city you’re in, as proximity is a major factor used in the local ranking algorithms.Minimize keyword usage in your business title, as extra words here can result in data center mismatches between your business name and keyword-optimized title.Use your “Contact” or “Location” page in the “Website” field, as these particular landing pages tend to have stronger geographic signals.Incorporate target keywords into the “Description” and “Category” fields of your listing, while still clearly articulating your business’s objective for readers.Upload as many pictures as possible in order to make your profile as appealing as possible to new visitors.

"From my perspective, Google+ is to Facebook and Twitter what Macintosh is to Windows: better, but fewer people use it, and the pundits prophesy that it will fail.”
