Unmerged listings and the new Google Places

I know Google Places has been rolling out some changes lately. Has anyone noticed any major effects on ranking for the old style listings? I entered the GP game after the merged listings took effect, so I have not worked with the old style until now.


Thanks,
Jessica

    Hi Jessica,

    I've not seen any major ranking issues... yet... What I do see is that some cities and searches are returning a full list of local results without any organics. I'm sure they are just testing the response from the users to determine if local GP results only will "satisfy" a searchers quest or whether they will go to page 2, or just alter their search. Gee, it could also be an attempt to try to increase PPC click through on ads... nahhh...

    It's hard to build a castle on shifting sands.
    Sticking with the published GP best practices is still a good approach :-)
