If you google Coventry Electrician Click this you will see Sparx Electrical at the top of the business listings.
Its been like this for about a year, that site is always number 1 unlike others which move up and down every other week.

Just wondering how he is doing this - especially since his site is very basic and amateur http://tinylink.com/?lXZM5JtAqE

Hes not in the proper listings. What you are seeing is simply a Google Map Result, you can add your site to Google Maps too.

I would also be interested.

If you Google my company's name, and our geographical location, we are H on the map, yet we are in the centre. Businesses 3 miles out of the area appear higher in the rankings than we do, businesses not even in the area Googled!

I havnt got a clue how as his site is so basic and has a flash intro which isnt google friendly

He is in the centre of Coventry and nobody else is - which would make sense if the ranking was based on proximity to the location specified.

TBH, I don't know really -I understand how organic rankings work but the local results are a complete mystery to me - the odd results I have seen are very spammy.
