Did you notice something has changed to local business visibility on Google’s search?

The Google search tools elements have moved from the left side of the screen to the top while changing functionality from a vertical list to drop-down menus.

And if you look closely, you can see a “Nearby” tab is now buried under All Results tab.

Small changes indeed, but a big signal of increased importance of local marketing for small businesses.
