Google has been rolling out local results on Statewide searches for some time. It seems that it initially started with smaller states like New Jersey, but recently state wide results can be seen in the likes of much larger (in land mass) states such as Utah, Washington, and even Alaska.
A Little Experiment
To find out just how many local states results are creeping into Google’s SERPS, I took the following keywords (Used Cars, Dentist, and Italian Restaurants) and went state by state to see if local map listings would pop up. The findings are as follows..
State + Used Cars brought up map listings in 23 states
State + Dentist brought up map listings in 21 states
State + Italian Restaurants brought up map listings in 24 states
20 states did not show any local results
