We're a small biz, but we have no retail presence, so often these location-based tools aren't as helpful for me as those with a storefront. It will be interesting to watch as folks like us without a storefront mold these tools to work for us - and to see what Google and the other search engines do to create new tools at the same time!

It's an interesting idea. My problem with this type of tool is that it is aimed at retail establishments. One thing that Google and other SE's looking to help with local search have to realize is that not all businesses that market themselves locally are a retail store. There are painters, handymen, construction contractors, manufacturers, etc. who need local search marketing help as well. Sorry, don't mean to vent here. It's just my concern. Thanks again for the post and keeping us informed! Great job. Thanks for the heads up on this. It's an interesting idea.
