Another exciting week at the lab after last week’s findings so let’s jump right to it!

Since last week we have been testing a long list of categories along with different primary categories to see what type of effects these subcategories have.

First, let’s look at the categories we added to another test listing we have been reporting on “Title Loans Miami”

Prior to adding these keywords we didn’t really show for anything but terms and ONLY with “title loans Miami” in them. Our primary service “car title loans” hardly showed at all as well.

This included with our geo modifier…

But just like our other tests. Almost immediately after adding the categories above, we saw instant improvements

In fact we have a big list of terms that showed substantial gains, so many that we could make a book of Local Viking snapshots lol

So here is just a list of terms that previously did not show at ALL.. that now show in the geogrid with minimum position 3 rankings at a node:

emergency loans
car title loans Miami
auto title loans
bank loan
loan service
financial loan
loan company
title loan company
bankruptcy loan

We also saw the same types of gains for “quick title loans” and “fast title loans” by adding “Fast Food Service” to another listing…

We will continue to break down the GMB categories and see if we can find a defined way to determine which categories will be best for your terms but so far it seems fairly simple. If the keywords you want to rank for are included in a category, that category as a sub-category appears to help with the rankings almost every time.

We will see you next week and as always,

Happy Testing!
