Google Places Changes

So, I have noticed for a number of clients (most in fact) that the number of impressions is WAY down from what they used to be. I find it hard to believe that the number of impressions can decrease to a mere 30% of what they have consistently been.

Has anyone else experienced unusual changes within the Google Places dashboard for the number of impressions for client(s)?

For example, I have one client who has been averaging about 1500 impressions per month for the last couple of years and is now down to about a 500 or so per month. I use another reporting system which tracks the keyword rankings/local search resulsts and nothing is "off" there so just wondering what might be going on with the Google Places dashboard and their numbers....

  • They probably lost rankings on various keywords.

    This happened to me too, but my rankings came up a couple days later, actually better than they were before, and now I'm getting more impressions than I use to.

    I also lost a lot of reviews too, but since traffic is up Im not angry.
  • I have seen a lot of my client's dashboards that basically show zero (or very low) impressions, yet I have seen no change in rankings.

    It may have something to do with the new platform they are rolling out, causing a glitch in the old analytics pages.
