Google Local Listings dropped in all major keywords

[levylevy]

One of our websites had dropped dramatically in all of his major keywords over the past several days. He was ranked in the maps section in google (the old pages not the google plus pages) in the top 3 in his most important keywords and all of a sudden they dropped off the first page completely - not just down one or 2 places.

Not sure what happened and how to fix it.. help please!!!

Did anyone experience a dance where it went down and came back up after a week? I mean, realistically speaking is there really is a chance it would sort out by itself? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Experiencing similar issues from the latest refresh...just have to ride out the dance and see what transpires.

Hi Yes a lot of us in the same boat from this recent update which i hope will sort itself out soon, one day i am getting a message from Google in webmaster tools that the site experiencing high volumes of traffic from quality content & it recommends placing more next thing it drops about 10 pages in Google for several keywords, Like thanks Google we love you to.

Dear Highwayfive,

The niche was 'title loans' and 'car title loans' in one of the cities in USA. Keywords like title loans CITYNAME / title loan CITYNAME / title loan / title loans.

No errors or issues with GWMT.

Not sure exactly what day... only that it happened sometime withing the last week or so.

What other information would you need?

Hi

What niche was this in? Single or long tail keywords? Any geographical qualifiers at all? What country level Google did it happen in? UK Google results are all over the place at the moment. Lots of movement at the end of last week and it appears to be going through a refresh again today.

Have you checked google webmaster tools for any error message or issues?

Do you know when the ranking drop happened? If it was Tuesday - Thursday last week it is likely to have been caught in the latest update.

More information would help in terms of working out the issues.
