Greg Sterling says, “Facebook says its Professional Services local search site is an “early test” and, after speaking with the company, it seems they’re not like to to give it much promotion — at least not now.

Facebook told me that the site has been live for “about a month,” but there have been no blog posts or announcements. Facebook also confirmed to me that there’s no integration of this content into its mobile app. Users can, however, access a less robust version of the site via mobile web.

While I could search any geography and business category on the desktop, I had trouble getting it to work for other than my current location on mobile web. Below is an example search for “hotels, Des Moines, IA” (I’m in California)”.
