Hi John, moved your question to its own thread.

You need to market your google places listing, just like any other website/page.

Try and get customers to leave reviews, make sure the places listing is 100% filled in, and get a few local listings on relevant directories.

theres a new member here that specialises in optimising places listing, and here is a good thread covering the same issue.

IT is possible Your google local listing not performing well on his related keyword ranking. That's will be the reason you are not receiving traffic from your local listing.

Submit local classified ads for getting local visitors for your website

I'm assuming he means adwords, and not sure of the relevance to google places.

Hi John, login to your google local business account and check the stats, you should at least be getting impressions and customers don't need to come to your site to get your phone number, also reviews help get you higher listed on places

Unsure of this particular point. But it is very important to be listed in the various local directories such as Thomsonlocal etc. Many of these listings do not include a link to your website but that is irrelevant as these directories are actually a means of cross-referencing by Google.
If Google sees your company listed in the same format with the same address and phone number - then it assumes the details are true/valid and hence your rankings can improve.

I think you should use social media optimization such as face book fan page, twitter followers, linked in groups, Google plus business page which will help to generate traffic for website.Along with submitting your site in relevant directories.

How is that relevant to Google places?
