There has been a lot of talk about speculation about Pigeon. Most recently, there was an article discussing the roll-back of Pigeon. Here at DotComLegalMarketing, we’ve got experience working with many lawyers. We’ve seen a large degree of “churn” with SERPS changing on a frequent basis in places.
First and foremost, based on data shared by a number of third party sources, it seems that with Pigeon, Google more heavily emphasized the role of “SEO” in Google place rankings.
