    Google Gets a Face-Lift and Bing Cracks Down

    Kurt SteinbrueckBy Kurt SteinbrueckMar 19, 2014Updated:Jan 27, 20232 Comments1 Min Read

    Google has made several major changes in the way their search results look.  They made big changes both to their maps results and to their regular search results.  They also announced a new feature which could improve your local organizations search rankings.

    Bing also made a couple of announcements warning webmasters that they are going to start lowering the rankings for websites that do two specific things.

    Yahoo also made some updates to their local services.

    I’ll tell you all about it and tell you about an upcoming offer in the video below:
