"Starting this month, small business owners who create and verify their business listing in Google’s Local Business Center will be privy to their own customized dashboard that reveals stats like how often people visit your site, your top search queries, how many times people asked for driving directions and the cities the people who ask are from. If you take a step back, you’ll see that Google is really offering basic analytic data to help you understand and improve your Web site. Through the Local Business Center dashboard, you’re given a strong look into what terms you’re ranking well for, where you need to improve, and maybe even whether or not you need to open up a new location in a popular area."
