Several\u00a0weeks ago Mary and I had a discussion at the Deep Dive at Local U about whether Google was using review sentiment in ranking<\/a>. While I noted that the new patents for entity rank seemed to indicate that professional reviews might influence rank, that I had not seen any indication that sentiment as expressed within a review influenced ranking or that ranking for a good review corpus comparatively had a strong influence.<\/p>\n

That all being said within Google restaurant search, Google is now autofiltering results based on phrases like good, best, cheapest etc. \u00a0(As a note, while I just started noticing this recently it may have been present for quite some time).<\/p>\n

The searches for things like “Best Restaurant NYC” works on both the desktop and mobile but the results are more obviously labeled in the mobile result. “Best” as a modifier returns only 4 star listings or better and “cheap” returns one\u00a0$ sign listings. You can combine these modifier words and see results for Best Cheap Restaurant NYC<\/a>:<\/p>\n
