We deployed 50 PBN map embeds alongside various other tiered links, targeting keywords like “solar panel service” and “solar panel installation.” These links were all finalized by February 20th. Our focus was solely on building links to the listing – there were no direct links to the website.
After the initial implementation, we observed movement in rankings within a week or two…
Keywords like “commercial solar contractors” began to show positive movement. Residential keywords also experienced significant improvements, suggesting a broader influence of PBNs beyond our target terms.
The similarity in performance between both residential and commercial keywords was intriguing. This hints that Google recognizes a broader relevance beyond just the specific keywords mentioned in content.
These test results confirm the content of PBN and tiered links collectively influence rankings, but we plan to conduct more targeted tests to refine our insights.
