You don’t have to be limited by Google Places not ranking your website in cities you serve.
If you want to rank for your main keyword in a city you service but don’t have a physical location in, creating a “doorway page” could help. Well-written, unique pages on your site that target your keyword+city can do very well, especially when promoted with a strong online press release.
