I was sitting on my office, doing “research” and did the same local search (Custom Jewelry Design Williamsville<\/em>) on my iPhone in three different Google mobile environments; Safari, Chrome and the Google App. All within seconds of each other.<\/p>\n

Next time your boss comes and asks you what’s up with the local search results, throw up your hands, show him this post and reflect knowingly “who the f knows….”. Be sure to note that even though you were not at your desk when he first came by, you were using your time wisely.<\/p>\n

Updated<\/strong>: Just for good luck we have added<\/a> a mobile search from Stephen Davies of the UK. Why have 3 variations when four (or who knows how many more) can do?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Safari browser result. 1500 Pixels high. Includes category, 3 facetted search options, and website content.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Chrome browser result. The longest clocking at almost 1600 Pixels high. Like the Safari result Includes category, 3 facetted search options, and website content but also includes review content.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Google App (iPhone) result. The shortest pack result clocking at just under 1200 Pixels high. No category, only 1 faceted search result, no review stars, no web content, no review content, no images. Most importantly (as pointed out<\/a> by Stephen Davies) it includes direct access to calling and driving directions. It also includes the more button. Go figure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
And one more variation…. As seen from the UK via Android Chrome. Thanks to Stephen Davies<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
