Google Local = That Bipolar GF You Love & Hate

No offense to any women on WF.

Or any monkeys as you will shortly see.


But why is google local always changing the way it displays?

I'm not even talking about websites dropping in and out of the 7 spot. I'm talking about the entire 7 spot changing the keywords it shows for?

For instance, for a long time, 4 of my bigger keywords, never had any google local results. So naturally I've been working on those keywords for a bit on my website.

Well I wind up making it to page 1, between positions 3-5. Then google local does their update a couple days later, and out of nowhere the 7 box pushes all these keywords down to 10-12. This never happened prior to the update (for these specific, state targeted keywords).

Now I'm not mad, because I later realized that the most competitive keyword in my niche, a keyword I'm not even targeting, popped up #5 for for my google local. Then a couple smaller keywords popped up as well. And this resulted in a small net gain.

However, all this random 7 box crap makes it impossible to have a specific strategy.



Right now, this is my strategy in a nutshell (for Local SEO):

*children under 18 cover your ears

Throw as much shit as possible, against as many different walls as possible, then cross my fingers and hope some of that shit sticks.

Thats it! No frills no thrills no automobills, just good ol fashion shit throwing.

The more I'm learning about local SEO, the more and more valuable this "model" is becoming for me. Its no longer a sensitive, keyword specific approach. Like "I'll focus more on keywords a, b, c, d, & e".

I feel exactly like a monkey pooping into my own hand, then I launch my feces at mach speed all over the walls... as I laugh at all the monkeys trying to hit specific targets.

:rolleyes:

You think... let me rephrase, how awesome would a WSO like this be?

Its already begining to form in my brain...


Warning Newbs: Your chest will hurt from intense pounding after you've read this headline,

"Monkey Poop Model
Makes Feces Stick ALL OVER Your Walls =
6 Figure Profits!
No More Begging for Bananas!!
Make Lady Monkeys Beg For Your Banana!!!"


... maybe I'm getting a bit carried away.

But I still see immense value in a WSO like this.

And I'm 100% sure that some newbie is pounding their chest right now.

    Maybe because google "local," is not really about websites and
    rankings. Some things people think are local, are not really local,
    and vice versa.

    Chrome is changing a lot of things on the SERP page, but other browsers like Firefox show the old Google SERP layout. Might not have anything to do with what your seeing, but Google is defiantly changing things around in the SERPs.
