Google Local Listings Madness
2008-05-01 09:23:00 It seems two have become one! Although this time it?s far from a match made in heaven. My two Google Local Listings have gone crazy. After updating my two business listings (for two separate businesses) today I found my self in a bit of a conundrum. When I searched for ?web design Adelaide?, my first ...
How to: Get Banned from Google Local
2008-03-08 00:00:00 A few weeks ago I discussed the steps you should take to increase your exposure on Google Local (you can read the entire post by clicking here). Apparently a Melbourne based mechanic business didn't get the memo. Ignoring any sort of judgement or coherent thought process, they decided it would be a good idea to post 700 listings of their mechanic business to the new Google Local service. This resulted in 9 out of 10 search results for relevant keywords and page upon page of duplicate listings. Today a Google Local search no longer displays any results to the mechanics (1 day after Bruce Clay discovered the oddity). Which leads me to believe that the listing was removed by Google (And quite possibly banned forever). Was it worth it? Of course not. It may strike you as a bit odd, but Search Engine Optimisation is not only about making it to the front page of the major search engines. Anyone can catapult their website to the front page of the search giants, but it takes a real e...

Google local search OneBox now displaying 10 results
2008-02-06 10:27:00 Google has recently implemented a change to how they display the local search results map in the main web results (aka the "OneBox"). -; When Google detects that your search query may have "local intent" and is related to a single location (e.g. The London Eye) or local business or service, it will display a map at the top of the results along with a company or location that it has determined to match your request. This section in the Google search engine results pages (SERPS) is also known as the "OneBox" - and comes in a number of variations - maps, local businesses, movies, video, etc. Single Result in Local OneBox For quite some time, these results were similar to the one above - limited to a single result or at most five results. Multiple Results in Local OneBox But now, Google has expanded this and is listing as many as 10 companies in the results - along with their web site and phone number. This is...
How to Game the Google Local Search Results
2008-01-17 00:00:00 On Tuesday I discussed the Bizarro World of Google Local. Staying on topic I decided to bring you the top 5 ways to "Game" the Google Local search results to increase your exposure and visibility on the popular search engine. 5 things every business should do to "Game" the Google Local search results Target Your Biggest Market - If you service the entire state it is best for you to target the capital city (or the area with the largest population). If you don't have an office or shop in the city it might be worthwhile investing in a GPO Box, as this will push you higher in the results. Smaller businesses should target their local area. Be the first - Submit your business before your competitors do. Preliminary tests have shown us that early adopters of Google Local seem to have a better chance of being listed on the front page. The 4 Week Waiting List - This may seem like a disadvantage but think again. You get an instant 4 week head-start on your competitors if no maps are l...
Bizarro Google (aka Google Local)
2008-01-17 00:00:00 There has been a lot of discussion about the recent addition of maps within the search results for location specific searches, known as Google Local. But are the listings being displayed fairly or are they being manipulated by businesses and websites? Do a quick search for "fish and chips christies beach" if you have yet to see this feature in action. It's a good way for the search giant to promote their mapping services while visually displaying targeted search results within your area (in theory). But look closer at the results and you will notice something very strange. Can you spot it? The first listing on the map is for a Fish & Chips shop located 39.7 km's away! In fact, the exact same "local" result is displayed for Adelaide, Richmond, Henley Beach and Unley. (just to name a few). Meanwhile the Salisbury and Brighton listing displays Fish & Chips stores located within the United Kingdom (even when you turn the pages from Australia feature on). It's hard not...
