    So what is the difference between this change and doing search for movies and adding the city in the search box?

    @Greg now you don't have to add the city.

    Wasn't this already being done if you were logged into your Google account?

    Glad that Google's promoting more localized searches. Wouldn't it also help for a website to define the area its relevant too in webmaster tools as well?

    Dear Google,
    Not okay as long as you believe two businesses can not share one telephone number for verification and don't get your verified locations in order...

    Moreover, your service and communications about location verification are backward, really.
