Web CEO(Ranking Software) has Local search as one of the Search engines and I have selected Perth Local Search. I rank in first place for a number of keywords however I can’t find my listing in the search results pages.

Could anyone explain why this is?

Looks like you are getting pretty good results Michelle. I suspect Google may use information provided by the business owner in preference to a 3rd party source – so maybe your competitors are having information from TotalTravel etc displayed because they haven’t entered data for their own business.

I have a question. I have gone to a lot of trouble to go through my competitors citations and join up with all of the organisations where they get those citations. however, those citations do not show up on my google listings and my informations is still reading as “provided by business owner” instead of clearly being sourced from a trusted site like my competitors are.

This has been going on for months now. Does anyone know anything else I can do?

Regards
Michelle

Thanks! This is exactly the information I was looking for. One of my clients is in a competitive market in the UK and these local listings bring a lot of business. More than PPC.
