Got a Google adwords voucher in the mail yesterday and today - bam, 7 pack gone! Talk about one scheming greedy ass company.
Every time one of those adwords vouchers hits my door within one week Google is bending us over. It's like clockwork and so f'en predictable.
Looks like G wants more Adwords revenue. Everything is a 3 pack for local results. Sucks for local SEOs.
Google is CONSTANTLY trying to shuffle things. And its not just for money squeezing, its because NOTHING they do is making people on phones click Google ads enough. They are scared to death how mobile traffic is now bigger than desktop and growing and they get a lot fewer paid clicks on phones. Its a HUGE problem. So they do all kinds of shit. If Bing or somebody figures it out first Google may lose their edge. Who knows.
Likely this is preparing for the new Google "Home Service" ads:
