I have a client in FL who was #3 in the 3 pack. 11/7 he tanked down about 20 notches. Then 11/9 he shot up to #1. As of 11/11 he's back to the original position and the local results are back to the way they used to be. I have several other clients in other cities who had similar patterns. And...

These are very high authority sites that aggressively build links.. Try this one: Uber Accident Lawyer. (Assuming you see the Los Angeles result - can someone please report that local listing as spam, too, if you don't mind? I flag it and tweet GMB support and they just let it go.. It's...

I am trying to figure out precisely what Google does or does not allow for structured data markup for aggregated reviews. I have seen a few local businesses using schema markup for aggregate ratings. Let's say they have 50 Google reviews. If they're using microdata they'll add a (marked up)...

Ah yes. Glad to see this thread over here. Since mentioning this on one of my blogs I've heard from dozens of business owners. This is my understanding to date: Yahoo said "Yahoo is partnering with Yext to deliver an even better Local Listings experience ...... Yext has partnered with Yahoo to...
