Where does the page rank of google+ local listings come from?
- SEO |
I know that page rank doesn't matter in terms of ranking, but I still notice that many of the well ranking listings have a solid page rank (like 3-4 for my niche which is "mold remediation nj" and some other LSI keywords).
I'm curious about WHERE this rank comes from on these lisitngs. Is this merely from citations and reviews? Or is there something else going on that I'm missing?
BTW, how long do you think it will take to rank my listing in google?
I've built 21 citations over the last month, got 2 reviews on my google listing, and 3 reviews on other popular directories. My competitors don't seem to have that many (probably around 10-15 total between google and other directories). The thing that is bothering me is most of the listings seem at least 1 year old.
I'm trying to do it slow... but am wondering if I can rush the process a bit? Someone wrote somewhere that "review velocity" matters in terms of ranking, so does that mean I should speed up reviews? I just don't want to wait 1 year for my listing to rank.
Thanks guys! - Red
ps. I'm doing a lot of SEO on/off my site too.
