      Hi there - we have noticed today a big shift today around for some clients major search terms. Some minor - some considerable! The search results have been mainly aimed at local search phrases i.e around cities etc.. Has any one else noticed a major shift is search results today or aware of any Google algorithm updates?

          Yep,

          You're not the only one experiencing ranking fluctuations.

          Someone else observed (in the comments) that the flux is really noticeable when geographic qualifiers are included in the query.

            Hi All!

            Have anyone seen any pattern in those shifts?
            Categories? Niches? Increments in SEM?
