    4. Okay. So I had the top spot for organic rank ( # 1 position ) above the places section. Now it has been eliminated and I am in the top spot for just the places section. What gives?

        Was your site penalized? then the places page which was #2 would naturally be #1 now.

        Google is promoting places pages more heavily but the worst that would happen would be they are #1 and your site now is #2, your site should not disappear.

          no it wasn't penalized. Well the thing is we had never shown up in the google places section before when we had overall the number one position organically.

          I want us to have the ability to show up both in google places and in the organic section at the number one spot. I know that this is probably far fetched but it is a hope 🙂
