Problem with site appearing in the local search.

Good evening guys,
I am currently running some sites and the strange thing is that as much as i try i dont get indexed in local search at all. I have my site on 1st page 2nd place in dot com google, but in the local search it just won't show at all. Anybody can give me any suggestions on how to get this done?

Try to get a local listing by submitting to directories like Yelp. With the local address, in the listings, it is bound to show up.

For local businesses, you need to build citations and get backlinks from other local businesses. In addition to this, creating a Google+ local business page will help a bit as well.

Country based TLDs appear on local search results better than dot coms.

As well as adding your business to google maps and confirming it. Lacal related keywords in <title> are also useful, f.e. "My main keyword in my Company name in Country/State"

-->Work with citations and get backlinks.
