On content match, search, and Google, they appear as a standard local ad type. <br /><br />However, on local.google.com they take on special characteristics: <br />Ability to have a custom icon <br />Ability to use a 125x125 logo <br />Ability to control your local business data (i.e. display special phone number, ad, etc). <br /><br />The requirements for adding one of these ad types is that your business must be listed in Google Local. <br />If you're not listed in Google local, you can add your business through the local business center (sends you a pin card in the mail), through the froogle small business center, through Google base, or through one of the local data providers that distributes your data to all of the local search sites. <br />One is not charged for the initial view. So, the first ad click opens up an information box on the page. If one clicks from the information box to your website, then one is charged per click.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25857546-114474274488929156?l=seo-lives.blogspot.com'/></div>Orenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02888910639299168174noreply@blogger.com0
