Local Google Places Rank Tracker

Another round of changes has been made to the Local Rank Tracker in an effort to get near 100% accuracy on results.

Previously the results were calculated by looked at Google 100 results per page at a time. That’s an advanced search option in Google.

Trouble was viewing at 100 results per page offered different results to 10 results per page which is the default. Who would have thought?!

When you check your results in Google against Local Rank Tracker. Please use a different browser to your normal browser. eg. Use Chrome if you use Firefox, to look up a search result. You don’t want to be logged in to Google or have a previous cache or cookies from Google giving you different results. Turn Google Instant off.

Please get in contact with me (support area) if you find this version isn’t finding correct Google Places results for your listings.

Hi all you wonderful beta testers out there.

Time for a status update.

I’m very pleased that we have 232 beta testers on board for the Local Rank Tracker Google Places software.

Slightly more than I expected, and I haven’t even mailed my lists yet.

Thank you to those that have spread the word about the software, I notice quite a few from facebook, so that’s nice.

My lead developer Vasil (he’s a great programmer by the way) is feverishly working through a problem with the software that was producing different results for some users, myself included. He thinks he’s onto something and will have a version for me to test over the weekend. Fingers crossed it’s a winner.

Once everyone is happy the technology works, we’ll quickly pump out a full version of the software.

As I said right at the beginning of this software creation.

We have to get the technology right first.

I refuse to waste time making software without

1) knowing there is a market for it

2) not knowing if the technology can handle the task

WINNERS of the marketing survey

For those that have come along late to the beta, I did a quick survey of the first 100 beta users and offered 3 full versions of Local Rank Tracker (once it’s created) as a bribe to get as many people answering the survey as possible.

Here are 3 randomly selected survey winners which will be notified directly as well.

1) Bronwyn Stringer
2) Brennan Mack
3) Gary Wells
