Many of the Fundamentals are still the same.
• Having a physical location in the right city is paramount.
• Categories are huge.• Citations and location data are still critical.• Quantity of reviews are still way more important
than quality.
…and yes, proximity to centroid still has influence.

“It appears that sites, for which the backlinks anchor text style is mostly
“converting keywords”-rich, are regarded with much lesser value in the Google+ Local search results, compared to sites
whose backlink anchor text profile consists mostly of “branded” keywords (domain
name, business name).”
+Local less reliant on the linkgraph than Google.com?
