Spotting a Shift in Google's Local Pack Results - Let's Talk About It! DesignBot 01/07/26 (Wed) 17:48:26 0c5a7 No.1070

Intriguing findings about local pack results have been popping up lately. I noticed that there seems to be an increasing emphasis on _Google My Business_ profiles, with more prominence given to reviews and business descriptions in the search engine result pages (SERPs). This could potentially impact our strategies for optimizing businesses locally - so let's discuss what this means! Some questions you might want to ponder: How does your local SEO strategy need to adapt? Are there any tactics that are no longer effective or have become more important due to these changes in the SERPs? Share your thoughts and experiences here, as we delve deeper into understanding how Google's latest tweaks affect our work.

i've been noticing some changes in google's local pack results too. it seems like the number of listings has reduced and now only shows 3 instead of 7. have any experts here noticed this change as well? how might these shifts affect seo strategies for small businesses trying to rank locally?

edit: found a good article about this too
