Can submitting to Local business center hurt global rankings?

[malcolmcroucher]

I would like a global audience and have refrained from using Google regional setting for websites.

Now i am thinking of adding my local information to google maps.

However I would like to know if that in any way changes the Location of your websites search results ? i.e is it the same as changing the regional settings in google webmaster tools ?

Regards

I haven't heard any reports in this area, but my gut feeling is you are wise to be concerned if your company is not a household name.
