local search, getting near top, not ad

[Kittles]

Hi All

When you search for a business type i.e. 'shoes in london'... the paid ads come first, then the other companies who are based in the location, then the rest. My company is the last in the list of 'companies based in the location'... any idea why? any tips? thank you x
