Google places case studies, help your website be found.
Business owners can add their listings to Google, as well as edit or delete existing listings, by visiting Google Places. Business owners can specify a wide range of information regarding their business ( e.g. business category, photos, opening hours, description) and, in the U.S., even add printable coupons. New individual listings require verification via the phone, text message or a physical mailer. Google Places business listings are for businesses with physical locations and/or for those that serve a specific geographic area.

excerpt Google will take another swing at the Yellow Pages today, integrating local business listings directly into search results.
The company is set to launch Google Place Search as a standalone search option, much the same way Google users can search for images, news, or products. It will bring the Google Places listings that business owners can claim into the main search results pages, rather than confining them to searches done within Google Maps as was the case prior to today
