    A quick investigation into the new "About This Place" feature

    That does sort of make sense. If you are searching for Kindersley park one assumes you want specific information. A search for parks suggests you are looking for somewhere to go so the information will be different. I feel the hand of AI in this - as if they are trying to get people back to...

    Is Backlinks Still major ranking secret in 2026?

    Not really. There is some value in high quality referrals and citations but there are far better ways to rank a site.

    Has the surgeon replied to the review with details of the police review?

    Restoring legit deleted reviews?

    Maybe they were but the Google AI thing doesn't think so. Which is the problem. Editing the review may not help considering how old they are.

    Restoring legit deleted reviews?

    When I look at the first image (H2O plumbing) it looks contrived - almost fake. Nobody says things like 57% increase in leads. Maybe on a case study but clients just don't do this. Looking at the others and they do feel as if you wrote the words for them (apart from the Brittany review).

    Does moving hosting affect local rankings?

    Not sure why shared hosting should affect your access to the site and cpanel but no, moving to a new host shouldn't affect ranking. Caveat: unless the new host is in a different country, cloudy, uses a CDN or performance is downgraded. All of which can make things worse.

    How To Small UX Tweak That Led to an Instant Traffic Lift

    Internal linking (including jumplinks) has always been an underused but important part of SEO. I've found adding a row of jumplinks links across just below introductory paragraph works really well.

    March Core Update – Ranking Fluctuations Discussion

    If you have ticked all the SEO boxes and aren't trying to game the system ranking shouldn't change much. Except of course there are a load of black hatters looking for short term gain and will use any technique they can to push their site to the top for a few months before the ban hammer falls...

    AI usage for local seo

    Claude for code. But sparingly as you soon run out of tokens. For example, I'll write and test the code but use Claude to do the boring stuff like sanitising and escaping. ChatGPT for prose - that way I don;t waste Claude tokens Gemini occasionally for resources. Don't use Agents. And don't...

    AI usage for local seo

    Pretty much all the posts here indicate using AI on existing data and content not as a starting point. As always though, never trust the response - AI as quite good at making things up - check your homework!

    AI usage for local seo

    Just done some tests using a number of AI tools and the SEO audit they did was quite laughable. One tool suggested doing guest blogging! Another thought it was an affiliate site (it's not). Most of the audit was very generic and offered little detail outside any non-AI auditing tool.

    AI usage for local seo

    I occasionally help use the tools to help with a bit of rewriting. I'm often a little terse in my prose, the AI tools can make it more friendly. Claude created a whole plugin for me the other day. Took me a couple of hours to sort out the CSS but saved me a ton of time.

    Mental Health Facility Missing Reviews

    Except of course it could be why they keep disappearing. Google's algo flags them and they get nuked.

    Duplicate Content Penalty

    As long as each website is independent of the others there won't be a problem. What you can do to really make a difference is write about the entertainment provided in each location. Post about the party, add in a couple of pictures and link to the customer's FB/Insta page and you fix so many...

    Mental Health Facility Missing Reviews

    Who did these 50+ reviews? Did they contact all their customers and ask for reviews? Or did they do something themselves? Either way it all feels a bit false.
