Around a month ago I began a small but significant SEO test based on what I knew of Google Hummingbird and how it affected Local SEO Search Rankings.
The task was simply to build a page, promote it using social media and user comments only, in order to achieve high search rankings for the given specific search terms.
The Results are pretty staggering, number 1 search rankings on our primary targets “local seo services in manchester” and a number of peripheral rankings in the top 10. Much more than we expected, especially given we had only around 50 social shares and 6 comments. But the results show that the hypothesis we had was correct and more than worth testing.
