Losing the followed BBB link dropped the necessity of the membership. However, the BBB is still important for a lot of my clients from a reputation management standpoint. Home service companies use the BBB to show potential customers that we care about our reputation and customer satisfaction...

Much appreciated Linda!

In regards to these random updates and confusing duplicates talk, should we be following this thread or the one Linda linked on Page 1 -> http://localsearchforum.catalystemarketing.com/google-local-important/15170-warning-email-re-google-places-duplicate-listings.html Google, please clear this...

Any updates on this matter?

Not a prob, yeah after days like yesterday it's helpful to hear that people are in the same boat. I have done anything since my post. Still monitoring this to see what happens.

Thanks Marie! We created an interior page targeting the specific key phrase and I'm excited to see how it rebounds. It's been a crazy ride, our link profile is better than everyone above us according to Majestic and OSE but Google isn't agreeing with them just yet.

Thanks Marie! I appreciate the feedback, we are working hard on getting the organic rankings back up. Unfortunately, this particular site took a hit with Penguin and really hasn't recovered. We'll continue to make the necessary steps to move higher up on the organics for the home page and...

Hi Forum! On March 9th I had a map pack drop off Google's top results on a local paycheck term. The structure of the phrase is "service name + city name". The "A" placement is now showing first (a competitor of course), however all of the others have been replaced with organic results. My...
