Outranking your competitors and maintaining first-page presence, means taking advantage of every possible search signal Google uses. With Maps, Google relies on a completely different set of factors than it does for traditional website rankings — weighing things like citations from across the Web, reviews, proximity, NAP (Name, Address, Phone number) consistency and much more. Your rankings will suffer if your citations on the major sites aren’t in order, or if your listings on the main data sites aren’t accurate.

All these factors help you achieve top local placement on sites such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing as well as relevant and high traffic search directories, social networks, online maps and mobile devices.
