I decided to do a test. There was a dentist that was keyword stuffing and listing her business title as "Leesburg Dentist". Clearly not her practice name. I updated the listing to list her proper name (Dr Deirdra B Kokel DDS) and decided to check today to see what impact it made.
What I found was a bit strange. In the Local Finder, she's still listed as 2nd (same as before) BUT she vanished from the SERP on Google.com. I've often wondered what causes there to be a disconnect (when a business is in the top 3 in the Local Finder yet not in the 3-pack) and am now wondering if there is a lag on the Local Finder or something.
Anyone run across anything similar?
