			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I typed the search term <a title="Toowoomba Building And Pest Inspections" href="http://www.toowoombafloristshop.com.au/g/47345/toowoomba-building-pest-inspections.html" target="_blank">Toowoomba Building and Pest Inspections</a> into Google just to see what sort of search results Google Places would provide when using an address that contains a letter &#8211; like 220B. I feel that Google gets a little lost when providing these sorts of results which is a little disappointing, especially if you are a business owner with a letter atached to your address. See <a title="google search results for toowoomba" href="http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&amp;cr=countryAU&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;hs=x9C&amp;rlz=1R1GGLL_en-GB___AU381&amp;tbs=ctr%3AcountryAU&amp;q=Toowoomba+Building+And+Pest+Inspections&amp;btnG=Search&amp;aq=f&amp;aqi=&amp;aql=&amp;oq=&amp;gs_rfai=" target="_blank">example </a>below:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.localseoadvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/toowoomba-pest-inspections.bmp"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-424" title="toowoomba pest inspections" src="http://www.localseoadvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/toowoomba-pest-inspections.bmp" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>You can see by the Google search result that the Google Places has placed a makr on the map where the business is but it has not allocated a letter. I dare say that this would be different if the business owner had an address without a letter within it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the beginning of 2008 all the major search engines, and that includes Google, began to show a totally different interface at the very top of their respective search results pages for keywords that are locally-targeted or even “key phrases” too  &#8211; for example Townsville Florist. The new look of the Google search results show you a localised Google Map and results of generally ten local business, in the world of search engine marketing this is known as a local 10 pack. Sometimes though you can also still see a local 3 pack too but most local search results will be in the local 10 pack format.</p>
<p>Just to reiterate, the results shown like this will also contain a suburb, town or city name.</p>
<p>At To The Point it is our goal to have you listed in this top tier of search results!</p>
