Dispelling the Myth: Local SEO Goes Beyond 3-Pack Rankings

Many people think that local SEO is all about the 3-pack rankings, but we disagree with this.

Over the years, we have tracked a ton of local SERPs. We are fascinated to see recently that a lot of big terms are not consistently returning local packs.

Local SEO is about much more than 3-pack rankings. If all you focus on is the local pack it is time to adjust your strategy or you could lose business.
