Soon after publishing the post targeting “Yellow Pages 360 Solutions”, much to my surprise, I ranked top position right away. That was because of the Yellow Pages’ slip-up of not optimizing for these words.
Soon after I ranked there was some discussion on Twitter – I wish I would’ve save the different tweets I saw, because now I can’t find them. But the most relevant one was the involvement of @Zelia_YPG, who manages @Yellowpages_CA.
Soon after the Twiteratti got involved, a new optimized page from Yellow Pages started ranking – as expected.
