How do larger rank in places pages for almost every local area there is?

Hi,
I am a newbie and I am hoping someone can help.  I am a bit confused about Google places for business.  I am ranking well in the  places listing for the suburb I am based in, however I have a mobile service and I am wondering how I can rank in other local areas for the places listings?  Everything I have read talks about on site SEO, listing in as many business listings as possible (the higher the PR the better), getting Google reviews and ensuring NAP is consistent and correct. I have done most of this - what else can I do? I notice a lot of larger businesses seem to be listed in the places pages even though their office is in a different state.  How do they rank in places pages for almost every local area there is?
