Google Local is another free service from Google. It helps the users and searchers to find the businesses and services in the city or area they live and it gives the exact physical address of the businesses through the Google map. Users can enter very specific names and keywords and find what they want in their area.

All you have to supply is your company name, address, phone number and website URL.
Then you have to verify the information you have submitted with a phone call or a postcard. Phone call is the fastest. If you choose it, Google will call you in a few seconds and you have to enter a pin number through the phone. Then your information will be verified.
I am sure you love to receive a phone call from Google, don’t you? (:
