Thanks for pointing that out I hadn't checked recently. Appreciate the like as well!

We haven't received any blackmail or offers. I'll try to report the video tomorrow although I'm not hopeful.

We've recently started building our company YouTube channel. I noticed today, when searching "Company Name YouTube" one of our videos shows in the serps. Great! What's not so great is that directly below our listing is a YouTube video with an exact copy of our video title and description. The...

I've known about the Yelp "warnings" they post on specific company pages that have been caught red handed trying to solicit or fake reviews, but I never knew they actually post the evidence! This may not be news to most of you and probably has been happening for a long time, but I thought it...

Wow! Thanks, Linda. The WhoIs link from Heckler shows the site is hosted under GoDaddy. I also used the name and address and found the site is run by the owner of a plumbing company in California. I hope this can be squashed by just being nice, but if not at least I now know what to do and...

Thank you! I will try and reach out to the owner first and go from there. Appreciate the help :)

I occasionally monitor our site on Majestic SEO. After this most recent "check-in", noticed a big drop in our Trust Rating. Not good. I looked into our backlinks and it looks like there's one specific site that's causing the damage. There are about 100 links from eplumbers(dot)org. A shady...

Thanks. We seemed to have went through a bit of shuffling. After the ranking drop, things have now recovered and we're ranking higher than ever for various city keywords. Not sure if getting shuffled around like that is pretty standard but I am liking where we landed. :)

Thanks Linda! Will do.

Not sure if this is new, a glitch, or I've just been away for too long. Our company Google+ link shown in the pack actually links to our YouTube tab instead of the Posts tab. New? Bug?

There isn't much local SEO efforts in our space. All our competitors have kept the same positions. Seems something caused a drop for our homepage and local landing pages (for "city name plumber"). We ranked #1-2 for 5 surrounding towns and now most have dropped to the second page. No changes to...

Awesome tool. From what I can see our page views have only grown while I was away. I think heckler was right, we've just lost rank for some head terms. Unfortunately, those local landing pages that have lost rank have high conversion and are important. Going to have to figure out what...

Thanks Colan, I'm going to look into this in the morning and report back. Thanks for heads up!

Not in the office but I'm eager to add some new info. It seems to affecting OUR company solely? Here are two screenshots of different surrounding towns (we show in both after the Pigeon update). These are from mobile...
