I know what you are thinking....I was thinking the same thing. My friend called me and said Google called and said they want me to spend $25 on my Google Local ads. I said I think your lying but I had seen something in the listing on his account that I keep for him. Sure enough he gave me the phone number and I called and spoke with someone at Google. Its a new adventure they are only testing in San Jose California and Houston TX. If you have a local listing verified and you get so many impressions you can pay $25 and they will highlight your listing to stand out more. Oh, thats $25 monthly by the way.
He said that they are going national with it and he will call me the minute it does. If your business is within the San Jose or Houston area and you qualify I will give you his direct number. He works on commission and I made a deal that I would send him business if he called me as soon as they made this available for everyone.
To verify it was indeed Google he gave me info about my account that only Google would know. Trust me I tested him. People call me all the time telling me they are Google and they can get me on page one of Google. I get so frustrated because people fall for that.
Email me if you do have a listing in that area and I will get you with him rlucia [at] contactatonce.com.
If nothing else I thought it was interesting and wanted to share.
