So what changed from the time our organic rankings dropped off and we weren't showing in local
maps, to showing in local maps and our rankings coming back?
● Data Aggregators
● Essential Citations
● Secondary Citations
● Citation Booster
Now we are still VERY far along from actually ranking in the geolocation well, but to see these
kinds of results from off-page SEO for a site that has ZERO proximity signals, shows us the power
of local citations for prominence signals.
Update: October 30, 2020
The organic rankings were still below their debut in the Google SERPs. But, you can see these
drop-offs occurred almost immediately and have definitely recovered since we started creating
prominence signals for the location.
When looking at Google maps and searching from Miami (masking IP address), we used to be on
page 7. However, when we go to page 7 or 8 now, we currently get that there are no listings. But
why have 2 extra pages?
