Hi Jen

Search terms are Self Storage Seattle,
http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=self+storage+Seattle&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f
Self Storage Houston,
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&pwst=1&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=self+storage+Houston&spell=1
Self Storage San Francisco,
http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&hl=en&q=self+Storage+San+Francisco&btnG=Search

With Public Storage dominating Google maps I'm wondering, is that what
Google wants?  I know this isn't classified as map spam but I do want
to raise the question.  I also noticed on the website of Public
Storage they have Geo reference -
http://www.publicstorage.com/local/city.aspx?txtLocalState=CA&txtLocalCity=s.%20san%20francisco
This page is only found in the site map and they have made this style
of page for every city they have facilities in. I am implementing this
Geo Reference style page for one of my clients and wonder if this is
what gets the placement for Public Storage.

Thanks
Erik Miller
