Hello, I see that you're not including any information about the icon to use with the ad--I wonder if the SOAP service is, by default, trying to read the <customIcon><data> element but not finding it. In my request I do specify a customIcon element, but you should be able to provide a value for stockIcon instead:
http://www.google.com/apis/adwords/developer/LocalBusinessAd.html#stockIcon Do you get different results when you do that? If specifying an icon doesn't make any difference, could you please provide the value of the requestId SOAP response header for the associated SOAP fault and I'll open up a bug with the engineering team to investigate why your request is being rejected.
