Google places and "people also search for"

[FireflowJ]

I run a yoga studio in Toronto, Canada.  I googled "Fireflow Yoga".    The Google Places listing shows up on the right, and underneath it there is a listing for 5 competitors under the title "people also search for".  Is there any way to turn it off that that "People also search for" does not appear as part of the listing?   I also did a reciprocal search of the 5 competitors connected to our listing.    They also have 5 "people also search for" on their places pages but we are not listed on their pages.   What can I do to work towards Google showing our listing under "People also search for" when they look up similar businesses nearby?  thanks.

Behind what you describe is "google suggest" - it`s the same thing that auto completes your search queries (if you want).

I am afraid to tell you that you cant control what other users will see under "people also search for"... well of course there is an indirect option by being the one who is (one of) the most visited studios (I mean by clicks not by real visits). Of course this doesnt work just by clicking on your links as much as possible... just be likeable for potential visitors and the numbers will grow. And as these numbers grow, you will have a very big chance to be mentioned there.

If you use chrome you can (try to) turn of google suggest by unchecking the box for this feature under the settings menu (privacy).
