Google Places?

So it is.
That's a good question - we've setup quite a few of them . I focus on what makes them rank and of those, what gets the best traffic.
What are the characteristics for a nice page: Does a nice listing need to have all of the possible data fileld ? I mean, you can't really control the rest of the layout.
IMO: The best are ones with good reviews - like this one, which has images, video and on-page booking.

I love the Google Places Analytic Reports that they now issue. Google are starting to go places (boom boom) with this functionality and as you can see, it can take over most of page one of your SERP. In fact sometimes its hard to tell the difference between organic and Places (apart from the Alphabet Pin).
Organic results are being pushed further down the page!
I read somewhere that Places is becoming more important to Google, so get yourself in there!

Hi, So it would be wise of me to have google places with my new site 'homepainting'. Considering my TM is in the general dublin & surrounding areas!
It's usually fasterDone! Just waiting on my confirmation letter in the post - 2-3 weeks
They've also added some nice features in terms of tracking etc., which is quite interesting. How useful / actionable it is though it another matter
I'd say so
Put it this way - it can't hurt and it won't cost you anything
It shouldn't cost you anything - I know someone who was recently contacted by an "SEO company" offering to set him on on Google Places, which would automatically appear in the SERPs, for a mere €175. Despite the fact that he already has a pretty decent Places page.
I have listed CT2 Formal Wear For Men and they get good traffic for keywords such as Suit Hire Dublin. We have added videos etc and is working very well.
What kind of videos did you put on it?
I've been toying with the ideas of putting videos on our listing, but wasn't sure what would be suitable
We put a video on 'Google Places' that features the Suit Hire company CT2 Formal Wear at a Wedding show (Citywest). Potential customers can see their suits on the catwalk and we think it helps encourage customers to hire suits for their wedding. Gives it a little credibility. Well worth doing for your customers listings. Especially as it is very easy - Only a You Tube link after all.
