Google Listings
These are called "Sitelinks" and they can be found in your Google Webmaster Tools (GWT), if you have GWT installed. From what I recall Google will choose these "Sitelinks" for you, however you can block them if you don't want them.

Google Places Listing
Hi Konstantin, Are you saying there is currently just 1 Google+ page, or 2 Google+ pages in existence. Have they both been verified? I ask this, because so many Google+ pages are currently unverified. If the one you want access to isn't verified, you can claim it and edit the details. If not, I recommend you go through the troubleshooter to report the issue, here: http://support.google.com/places/bin/static.py?hl=en&ts=1386120&page=ts.cs Hope this helps!

On Page Optimization to Rank For Multiply Cities
Hi Konstantin, Is your client located in 20 cities, or serving 20 cities from 1 physical location? In either case, I definitely do not recommend putting a static list of cities anywhere on the site. As Casey has guessed, Google is indeed setting their sights on this practice of listing cities in big chunks. There has recently been an update to the Webmaster guidelines (see: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66358) that sent some buzz through the Local SEO community.: Keyword stuffing "Keyword stuffing" refers to the practice of loading a webpage with keywords or numbers in an attempt to manipulate a site's ranking in Google search results. Often these keywords appear in a list or group, or out of context (not as natural prose). Filling pages with keywords or numbers results in a negative user experience, and can harm your site's ranking. Focus on creating useful, information-rich content that uses keywords appropriately and in context. Examples of keyword stuffing include: Lists of phone numbers without substantial added value Blocks of text listing cities and states a webpage is trying to rank for Repeating the same words or phrases so often that it sounds unnatural, for example: We sell custom cigar humidors. Our custom cigar humidors are handmade. If you’re thinking of buying a custom cigar humidor, please contact our custom cigar humidor specialists at custom.cigar.humidors@example.com. (Bolded emphasis mine) So, regardless of whether you client has 1 office or 20, avoid this practice of placing chunks of city names on the site. The appropriate approach is to create unique content on city landing pages dedicated to each locale. Don't take any short cuts in this work. Be prepared to write creatively and uniquely for each city you cover. I can't overstate the importance of this work. Good luck!

On Page Optimization
I would agree with Adam. Create two separate sections for both states and then add some really good content in those sections, with good on page optimisation, and then begin link building for those pages.

canonical URL tag
It's usually automatic. So you might've have a plugin like SEO all in one or Yoast that added the canonical URL. I'm guessing thats the reason.
