Blogger Barry Welford recently called Google's local search functions half baked. His point is simple. Google find search results by using logical, mathematical algorithms. That's fine for many things. But human though is often illogical (especially when creativity is involved). If it ever plans to succeed in these areas, Google needs to find a way to drop the logic.

Local search isone of those areas.

If you can get past Google to search engines focus on local result (search engines like Canada 411), you get much more bang for your busk. Your efforts will be rewarded by a lot more clikc throughs to your website.

As Internet behavior becomes more oriented toward local results. Google is goign to see users look elsewhere.
