Here is a powerpoint presentation from the Webinar:
The link I recommended for people to learn more is Local Search Ranking Factors by David Mihm. It is an excellent and informative article on what works in Local search. It also has links to other articles that are quite informative — use the article as a jumping off point to learn all you really need to know about Local Search

Wow, how serendipitous to come across your post on local search, a colleague was asking me about gaining local search results just the other day, so I will be very interested in reading all your articles on this topic. One of the things I like to remind people is that it’s just not about being found organically on the internet but making sure you have your website details available for people physically in locations where your clients will most likely be, BEFORE, they need or want YOUR services. eg: a specialist medical centre would want their promotional materials at local GP clinics, pharmacies, perhaps beautician’s stores etc. So who is before you in the chain – JV with them.
