Is there any way to improve the rank of the 3-local pack results that show on Google SERP? Any trick? I found a lot of the same kind of businesses listed over there. But my client wants me to show their Google My Business Listing within top #3, so they get more audiences. Is there any way to improve that? Any kind of help, much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      I started using a product called Podium to get more local reviews. I went from less that 50 reviews to 235 reviews with a 4.8 rating in the course of 3 months. We didn't get any extra traffic or leads. It's now been about 6 months since we started the program and it has shown no results by having so many more reviews. Most of my competitors have less than 20. Some as few as 5.

    I honestly don't understand the whole "Review" craze.. I think there is no benefit what so ever in terms of ranking. Local listings is all about position... if there is a 3 pack in the category you are working with.. you need to be there. URL regardless of what anyone says is more than apparently a factor. Citations are a factor. Ensuring your NAP is all in order is a factor. Company name.. a factor.. and most importantly is Location.. and this is one of those things you really cant do anything about.. other than move your business ( LOL )

    One thing to keep in mind... Ranking a page is done with an algorithm ( IE math ) So one could say that based on the overall average in a category variables in ranking could be below the norm, they could be on par with the norm, or they could be over the norm. I myself.. look to be just above "Norm" Below and above norm places you in a position of being an exception. in Math the greater the exception the greater the chance of being identified.

    How does that translate to Google? More often than not Exceptions lose rank. usually in one fell swoop. Does the site have to many bad links.. done. Does the page have way to high keyword density... done. Is the content on the site to weak.. done. This is how Google works... to have more than or less than is usually overall not a good thing.

      Where to add the listing description? I didn't find the option. Maybe I missed it? Or just copied content fro anywhere else and pasted here? Please help me to figure it out. And yes, we did all things you mentioned except 5, but still not in top #3, so what could be the reason? Any clues?
