How to get a full blended listing

[duncan274]

Hi people,

After much hard work our site www.noyelling.com.au is doing very well in the SERPS in Brisbane. The only problem is that we've gone from having a full blended listing to what can be seen in the attached image - a map-pack listing. While we are number 1, I don't feel that having the listing as it is is offering anywhere near the value we'd receive from a full blended maps/organic listing.

Any ideas on how a full listing can be achieved so that we can be number 1 and be separate from the map-pack we are part of currently?

Thanks,

Matt Williams

Hi Matt,

I'm not sure what you mean by going from 'a full blended listing to a map-pack listing'. Are you saying that your site used to be higher up in the organic listings?

The map-pack listings you are referring to are the Google places local listings which will always show up when you add a location to your searches (e.g. brisbane). When I searched 'driving schools brisbane' I noticed that your site was on page 5 in Google Australia with your driving schools brisbane page. Your number one listing in Google places is probably due to the number of favourable reviews you have on there.

Just having a quick look at your backlink profile, it is entirely possible that your drop in organic rankings is due to the recent Google update. I would have to do a full audit on your site to check all factors but from a quick look, most of your backlink anchors are commercial terms (e.g. driving schools brisbane, brisbane australia driving school etc.) which is what the recent update has hit.

Adam.

Hi Duncan,

Your current display in the SERPs is a blended listing. The title is going to your homepage. Other elements are going to Google Maps and your Google+ Local page. So, that qualifies it as blended. As Adam has mentioned in his response, we may not be completely understanding the intent of your question. Can you offer further clarification? Thanks!
