Setting up and optimizing your Google+ Local page is one of the best ways to steer high-quality local search engine traffic right to your door. Here’s why: Every single day, people and companies search Google for nearby vendors to do business with. So the question is, does your business show up? And if so, how well does your listing reflect your business and serve your goals?

One of the first strategies for jumping ahead of the pack, for a local business, at least, is to find (or create) Google Plus super users. These are users who now only like to rate local pages but also get their reviews liked by other users. These Super Users ratings will simple carry more weight in the Google algorithms.
