"Use Google Local business to get included in Google maps for strategic keywords."

I really like tips that give instant rankings and results, which is pretty much what you can achieve by adding your business to Google Local.

You can get instant exposure when a geographically targeted search kicks out a Google one-box result:

A one-box result

 

 

By adding key phrases to your title and looking at other Google Local ranking factors, you can secure yourself some quick, easy and free search visibility.
