How do I get included in Google Local?

You didn't answer the guys question!! "How do I get my business into the Google Local database?" What do you work for the US government? It is so irritating to find a non answer to a question. Just fess up and say I don't know, but of course this would hurt your credibility. Now we wouldn't want that. Why can't you answer go to http://local.google.com/join.htm or what ever the heck it is instead of all this stuff go read this go read that. Your as lamb as all the other buearocrates.

Thanks Doug! - Just what I was looking for!

Hope that solves some problems. I don't know why google just can't make it a bit clearer how to add a business on their own site!

people complain there is lack of expression in the world, well u can thank google for that! engines should list sites in minutes, not months! why do you think many people dont even bother making a site.

Hi,

I submitted my business's website to google local about 18 months ago. It still does not show up in key search terms under google local (ex: Boston Home Furnishings). It is frustrating because I do have decent placement in the organic listings (mid page 2) for the same search 'Boston Home Furnishings)..any ideas what i am doing wrong? where does google pull their local listings from? or is it their own algorithim?

Thanks

jon
