To get business listings:
* Enter what you want to find. You can search for either a specific business (Pizza Hut) or a general service (pizza).
* Make sure to include both a city and state, or a zip code with your search terms.
* If you want to make sure you get Google Local results, put a period between the business name and the location ('pizza.10013' or 'pottery barn.boston ma')'.
