Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Its funny because when you google search the firm, our google+ picture is popping up, but it is not currently linking properly to the profile page there. I will have to get that worked out.

I'm sure that trying to log into Yahoo too many times is exactly what happened to get it to lock me out. I have contacted them directly, but have not yet gotten a response. I guess this the beauty of SEO.

The employee reviewed the company rather recently within the last week or so. I am also trying to link my google plus and my google places account, so that could be doing it as well. I guess that I do need to get someone to help sort this out. I just hate to get taken to the cleaners again. It seems every time I get someone who does SEO it turns out bad for me.

Organically, you are right, my sight is going up and up. I was on page 23 a couple of months ago. Not #23, page 23. Now I am at #3. I am doing the right stuff with the organic listing. I just feel like many of the tools that I have acquired have focused solely on the organic listing, which will probably account for the larger portion of my clickthrough, but by what I hear ignoring the citations and local listings that google now places so prominently would be foolish.

Thanks for your help.

I am a bankruptcy attorney in Southern California. I have been doing my own SEO since I had a couple of bad experiences paying someone to "do" it in the past. If you want it done right, do it yourself I suppose.

Anyway, I have been ranking well in Google local results. At first I peeked in at 3/3 showing on the first page of the searches. Then I climbed to Number 2 in local searches, probably as a result of finding sites and making sure my addresses, phone numbers and business names were all correct. However, this week (as I climbed to #3 spot in the local search for my city+ bankruptcy attorney, my Google local result dropped to page 2.

One of my employees rated me on google local and gave me a google + which is gone and the pictures that I uploaded to Local Google are gone. I don't know if this is some kind of penalty because an employee gave me a rating (they were completely up front about working for me) or if something else is going on. I was also trying to claim my business on Yahoo (which resulted in some kind of "Account Suspension"). I have no idea what is going on.
