If you cover a local topic and have a geographically very diverse linkgraph then it may not bring good results.

That's a good point rocco, though I think it could be fairly complicated to determine whether or not a query is locally oriented or not.

For instance, "Business Name, City, State" is easy, but how about "Famous Name House"? It's a local query, but how can you tell?

Well, search is far from solved, so I guess it's just another problem for Google to attempt to work through.
