With WordPress, you can target multiple keywords (Categories) so your Google Maps listing will Rank at the top of the Local SERPs for more than one target keyword phrase.

These are some pretty competitive keyword phrases. After all, Los Angeles is the 2nd largest City in the USA and let me tell you, there are more than a few guys vying for a 5 Pack ranking in Google Places for these keywords.
