Google noticed that Google Local Volatility was a bug
In a recent update from Google, it is found that Google’s local volatility was a bug. It was an obstacle in Google’s local ranking volatility. Danny Sullivan from Google, stated in the report, “The local search volatility from the last month through early this month was a bug that was resolved about two weeks. The fix Google rolled out then he said, “Seems to have stabilized things since.”
Initially, Google said that there was no update. But asked for examples that the company can look into to see what’s going on. Then finally it turned out that there was no local search update. But some sort of bug that caused the local search volatility in Google Maps and Google Search.
On Twitter, Danny said, “Just want to update. Thanks for the example. They helped us find a bug that we got resolved about two weeks ago, and that seems to have stabilized things since.”
