re: Google Local SERP Update: Old Pack Algo & Doubles I can't SEE IT but I am hopeful it will role out into Austin !! :)

I have been very busy lately with some fall out from the Google updates. I had gained a few new clients just before the updates and I knew they came from big local SEO firms here in my area. When the updates began to roll out the new clients tanked in rankings. It was very evident that they...

It was a great post and I never would have connected the dots with hummingbird! Thanks for pointing it out Linda. :) What a hot mess!

I was checking in to hopefully see some kind of GOOD NEWS..... for me more of the same and I am running into more of these spammy one boxes with other clients as well. I just wish they could take care of this and be done with it. For my clients more of the same......:(

I went through the other post with this exact issue that Linda has been reporting on and YES, this is exactly what I am seeing. I noticed it for the first time about a week ago. I have waited a week to say anything because I thought it would have resolved itself. These used to be a 7 pack and...

I have been monitoring a niche for a client and about a week ago all of the local maps disappeared for all of their targeted keywords. Now, it is only an organic race. I keep waiting to see if the local maps will return but so far just organic. The niche is plumbing and it was pretty...

Yes, I am seeing the exact same thing. I noticed it yesterday for the first time and I am assuming its a small update or change and in a few days the ones down will shift back up. I have seen this more than once and typically we shift back up. so far.......we are still down.

Perhaps he can read our minds??!! this was a topic for discussion yesterday and I had just logged back in for more information and clarification!! SO glad you pointed out this out!! :)
