Another Map shake up?

[Maxw555]

Have a client who dropped 15-20 spots overnight for several prominent keywords in maps. Has there been another update or bug?

 

[JohnMarathonAir]

We dropped slightly (a couple of spots) for a couple of keyword phrases we track.

 

[JohnMarathonAir]

I came here wondering the same thing. Is this an update, or a bug, or has anyone else noticed a change?

Yes Brightlocal is reporting another shake up in rankings again. It’s free to sign up for the alerts too.

Thank you. I did receive the alert. I guess I meant that I came here looking / hoping for reasons why.

We are seeing some of the same fluctuations.

Can you guys be specific to what industry and keyword so we can keep track of going up and down to try to figure this out.
2 of my clients have been going up and down on a weekly basis however organic rankings remain solid anyone has any clue....?

Legal... city name + niche attorney

I have found that rankings in competitive industries (like legal) are almost always choppy. The larger the city, the more it will fluctuate. Here is a completely normal graph over 30 days.

Thanks Joy. Where are you pulling the graph from?

That one is from Whitespark
