The Google Jazz upgrade is now rolling out and is available in most locations (although not all as I have it at home but not work). SInce its early testing<\/a>, the interface has evolved through a number of changes as it relates to local,\u00a0some<\/a> of which pushed organic results further down the page than others<\/a>. In the end though the final changes will not result in any significant difference when local results are shown.<\/p>\n

Here is a screen capture at 1024 x 768 with before and after looks at the impact that the new interface PLUS the new local refinements options<\/a> have on the page (click the image to see full size):

As you can see, by reducing the amount of space at the top of the page Google preserved the size of the Local 7-Pack and kept the amount of organic results the same as before.<\/p>\n

When using the interface during the test, I came to like its feel and prefer it to the “yesterdays” display. What is your opinion of the interface? Will it have any new impact on Local and organic results?<\/p>\n

I have also added screen shots of the old<\/a> and new<\/a> Local Universal result displays from my 1920×1200 monitor. Interestingly at this resolution the new and old designs both show 6 organic results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
