Hi Laurent,

Thanks for your comment. We don’t have this data for 2017, I’m afraid, but we’re always looking to update previous research so we’ll be sure to add this to the list of potential updates.

Great information. Do you happen to have the same for 2017 ?
AMP definitely have a greater impact now, but would be great to know about the rest.
Thanks.

Great summary and definitely saved me trudging through the full report! I think the biggest factors are the 7 to 3 pack but also the ridiculous bia being close to the centre of the geographical search location, some terrible examples out IMO

When you say GMB landing page title, do you mean the business name? Would changing the business name to include either the location or product/keyword be wise, if the legal business name is different and already consistent across citations? How could adding keyword phrases be beneficial, when most language says to keep it the actual legal name? Thanks!
