Google Places - Little Change For Some Keywords/Strategies

Hey Offliners,

Yeah, in some cases things have shifted around, but I was surprised
to see in other areas, it remains the same:



Notice the "website" in listing A doesn't exist...

The next two listings B & C are redirects.

KEYWORDS are still taking first place in some cases.

I'm sure more changes will continue.

    Hi Jimian

    Yes we found that all of ours were ok.

    The good thing is that they can still find us via phone, address or places page (site).

    That's it purpose so we are happy with the shift.

    And from a purely visual point of view the map on the right hand side seems to make the A,B,C etc stand out more.

    regards

    Bronwyn and Keith

      Hi jkstam

      Don't panic.

      It's all good - change is part of the deal.

      As far as we are concerned this one is "Awesome".

      Regards
