    Yes, you can rather easily get your organic listing above the local listings, all you need is extra backlinks up until the point where you're above the local listings. Yep, it's that simple, I've done it many times before.

    You can but it takes a little more effort when there are the places at the top. The main thing is just to keep working at it and show Google that you are strong and you are there to stay. Backlinks of course is one way of doing this. Once you have done that, they will reward you with that spot above the places.

    Yes, you can. All you need is to build up decent and quality backlinks to the point that you have more link juice compared to Google Maps/Places. This will being you to the top spot.

    ywes you can do it, you need to create more backlink pointing to your site. You need to keep update content of your website and content must be unique and genuine.

    I was getting ready to joke with you about "Goolge Places", then I did a search for it...My word...

    Do you realize there are over 12 million pages listed for that misspelling?

    But I'll bet it is easy to rank number 1...

    So far.. I see some of you say yes and some say no..I have been able to find some local searches with organic listings above the Google places..but the number is no where near that of Google places ranking above the organic results :-(
