Google Local Results on SERPs

[sudhani]

Google is showing local results (http://local.google.com/) on main search results page.

It is already showing Froogle results for products.

here is what i found:
http://www.google.com/search?num=100...on&btnG=Search


The Webmaster / SEO Issues:

1. While targeting niche keywords (using your location) be careful.
2. Make your address clearly visible in a contact page.
3. Get listen in local Yellow Pages and / or Make sure your company is registeed and the correct address is updated in the database of local / national government bodies.

4. For products target froogle.
5. More pages with different locations are going to be dead soon.
6.What r we giong to do when Google cobines Froogle and Local results to find you a store nearer to your home?

Any more thoughts?

I really don't thing this is much of anything to worry about.

The local results are clearly delineated from the organic search results (as a matter of fact I have never bothered to look at those top of page results 'til now) and suspect that they may be pretty well ignored by consumers.
I would far rather have a top five ranking than one of the local listings at the top of the page.

Why do you feel that they are going to worrysome, Sudhani?
