Top of Google is possible using Google Maps

With Google's advent of integrated Google Maps in Google search results it now makes it possible to secure a number one position in the search results with a targeted keyword campaign.

I've been able to achieve #1 ranking with a number of my customers with suprising ease and they're pretty pleased about it too.

As Google Maps appears on top of some search lists, the trick is to know which search results have Google categories so that the maps will appear at the top.  Using the Local Business Centre it is possible to systematically target those with unfulfilled demand using a range of keyword techniques.

While I'm not sure how long it will last until the secret gets out and how long such a loophole will last before it gets SEO spammed however I can say that it is easy if you know what you're doing.

I'm interested to know what success others have had with getting businesses to the top of Google this way.
