Google Algorithm: Expanding Keyword Searches to "Semantic Search" Keywords and Synonyms

Small businesses depend on a strong presence in Google’s Local seo Rankings. Top 3 is considered the holy grail of Google Local Search Results enabling some businesses to double their business most of the time.

The new “3 pack” only benefits three businesses and the other four are out of luck, as they will end up in the dreaded Google “Page 2” graveyard where less tha...
