This is “Google My Business”, here you can take control of your Google listing (if it already exists) and fill in all the details about your business.
Relevance: Google is asking “Does this business offer the service or product that the user is searching for?”
Proximity: Here the mythical Google asks, “Is this business close enough to the user?” Also, some local searches are “Services/Products in City, State” In which case the algorithm finds businesses in that specific location.
Prominence: This is where popularity and great reviews come into play.
