      When you click on a Thumbtack organic result, there's a pop-up modal on the landing page. Is this allowed by Google?

      E.g. Go to these SERPS and click on the first Thumbtack result. The landing page has this modal appear. Is this likely to hurt their rankings?

        The interstitial update only affected mobile browsing, from what I can remember. This popup doesn't appear on their mobile site and thus, I would assume it shouldn't have any impact. However, I would recommend increasing the wait time to pop the message up,  so that it acts as a form of help to a user, rather than blocking their browsing immediately.

        • Does Google Penalize for Managing multiple Google Places from the same IP Address? Can you manage from same google account or separate? Or does it matter since it's created from the same IP?
