GEO tags

I've done this before and yes it indeed does help with local searches.
From what I understand, when someone searches for let's say a used car dealer, google automatically get's their location by IP and in a sense searches for used car dealer los angeles if their geographic location is los angeles.
Now if you are targeting keywords w/ geo location, then you'll do a little better. But like I said it depends on what your website is about. This usually relates better to real businesses like, car dealers, restaurants, specific service businesses etc.
But I may be wrong
