Did anybody else notice a big change in local/map results in late Jan early Feb

[jasarrow]

Hi,

We work on quite a few local campaigns for clients and saw a fair bit of movement in the UK in late January/early February. Did anybody else notice this? Some of ours have improved, some have lost out, but the results generally seem to have shifted against usual guidelines for listing optimisation (reviews, local phone numbers, consistency with website etc.).

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Yes - in Sacramento, one of the competitors who used an exact match domain, but who has zero reviews is back on the map. They had fallen off last summer, but are back.

Hi Jason,

Would it be this: http://www.localsearchforum.com/local-search-news/39251-huge-ranking-algorithm-change-jan-10-2016-a.html

Or is that too early?
