Change of address

[jamesjd8]

does anyone have any experience in local search results and how a change of address will affect you?  I'm going to move but am afraid that google local pack will stop ranking me.  I want to know if I will be negatively affected (i.e., de ranked) in the interim as the directories update my new address and also how long it will take.

Hi James,

I have done this for a few clients now and noticed no change for them. You certainly shouldn't be dropped just for a change of address (even updating on directories) - they handle this sort of thing all the time with businesses moving.
