Did any of you notice big changes last Wednesday or Thursday? This tool went insane on those days Local RankFlux - Monitor Volatility in Google’s Local Algorithm

I guess not... Maybe it was a bug with the tool.

What are your thoughts on this tool overall?

Actually yes - We had one client with significant improvements on Thursday, on stuff that has not been touched in a while.

What I noticed for pretty much everything I checked was that whatever movement there was, was reversed back the next day.

Hey Barry! We're currently still sifting through the data but, from what we can see, it looks like the bug was with Google rather than Local RankFlux. It seems that rankings did drop for many people, they just shifted right back the next day (causing the even higher flux). We'll aim to share any more information we have once we've taken a deep-dive into the data, though.
