When you create your Google Local Listing, there is one secret that will help you. I will give it to you as quickly as I can, but I want to tell you that it is very simple and if done every week along with other factors in local search marketing, can help you stay in the rankings.
Tip-Keep Your Listing Updated. Did you know that all the search engines love fresh and updated content, your webpage listing is considered content to the web spiders, keep your local listing updated and ping the profile or just wait for google's bot to do it. I am sure because it is on their own server, their is no need to ping. But you can if you would like. But I advise against it, because the whole reason for you to do it is to get better Google rankings.
