Google has set it sights on the local ad market. Google will now promote local business listings in storefronts. So now were going to see local stores near our home with big window sign that says "We're a Favorite place on Google". Google is fast becomming an international hub/database for small local business to medium business all over the world. Small family owned businesses can now gain the international attention no matter how big or small. This could help level the playing field against corporate giants and their international capabilities.
