Just thought I'd post a quick update on this just in case it can help anyone else. It turns out that there were actually no issues with penalties, which is what I had thought initially. The poor performance in local was actually due to the offices not getting any patient reviews on google in...

A quick update, we're still not showing in the local 7 pack for the following terms (bronx orthodontist, bronx braces, queens orthodontist, queens braces) as well as a few other related terms. Occasionally, we pop back in for Bronx orthodontist, depending on what data center I think, but this...

Hi Linda, Thanks and sorry I missed that thread. Going to give this another go: LINK to G+ Local OR if it's missing, link to web site: Bronx - https://plus.google.com/101303184701668083554/about?hl=en Queens (Forest Hills) - https://plus.google.com/100016174048977894370/about?hl=en Rockville...

Hi Everyone, I've just come across this forum last week and it has been a tremendous resource. I manage the web and marketing for Halberstadt Orthodontics - currently on a volunteer basis as its my Father-in-law's business. He's currently ranking well in organic for each of his three offices...
