Google Places lisitings, is this the same in the US
I notice that the keyphrases that show Google Places also are inundated with the Yelp etc type directory/ portal sites on page 1-2 of Google.
Yet the phrases that don't bring up a GP listing don't attract the directories either.
Now that might not be surprising to some but it is to me, the phrases aren't the most searched for ones for those niches, there no real reason it seems for the directories to also want to compete with GP listings but the best thing is it leave the other phrases free(r) for proper businesses to rank in
Anyway that's what I find in the UK, is it similar in the US/ Australia etc ?
