Considering the search engine’s perspective – local search is there to get people to a physical location, PO box doesn’t help. Better yet, it has a negative impact on your ranking in Google Maps. Including your PO Box on contact page doesn’t hurt, but your “contact us” page should include your physical address.

For other local search, visit our Google Maps Algorithm page, Google Maps Optimization (Google Maps SEO) page, Live Search Map and Yahoo Local page.
