SEO - Google, Yahoo, Bing

[VP Mark]

Mark, I know which ones are the paid AdWords listings but what is messed up is the map. How can only one business be listed in the map for the whole city??? That's what I don't get. These two problems must somehow be connected to one another.

Ok, not I get what your saying! (herp derp haha)

I have run into this issue in my region as well. The larger city 6 miles south of me no longer has me on their local listings either, even though I am the best placed and reviewed detailing business in my region. By far.

Google seems to be doing this in order to keep "spillover" from leaking into search results. You have to be from exactly that city the search was made for, zip code and everything. They are trying to keep the search results better localized but they are really just limiting their users options by not showing a business that is a couple miles out of that search radius because they are not technically from that town(don't know if that is your case).

My advice is to call Google. Give them the information and see if they will respond. It isn't much but worth a shot. Until then get your AdWords up and running and make sure you are not falling through the cracks until the issue can be fixed.

Edit: wahoo 1,000 posts I feel kinda geeky.

How come when I go to your website the tab header says '99 Ferrari 355 F1 Spider? That is very important to have geographically accurate. Your header should read:

Sherwood Oregon Auto Detailing - Autowerx Detailing

Notice how when you click my page on your tab it says "Visual Pro Detailing - Auto Detailing Southern Illinois

Then google "southern illinois auto detailing"

Number one generic result, number one google pages result, and my Facebook is even higher ranked than the next business.

Just something to think about.

Yeah, I noticed that the other day too. I am new to WordPress and after noticing all this happening with the search results I installed a plugin called "all in one SEO" or something like that. It jacked up all my headers and changed the description of my homepage to the title of my most recent post. I have actually been going through and editing that as we've been talking here tonight.

Thanks! It was professionally designed under my strict instruction, so I can't take all or very much of the credit. The company that designed it did a wonderful job and captured my wishes and vision beautifully.
