    Salesperson with a budget, you keep all the leads... What do you do?

    SEO at times gets tough given the changes Google keeps making and the presence of review sites and OEMs competing even at the local level - but grab that Google Places listing and see if there are any local communities in Google Plus. Craigslist works, have even seen people come through eBay

    Increase/decrease in your organic traffic lately - Google "Pigeon" update may be the cause

    The Penguin update has definitely impacted local results though just car dealers show many of the aggregators like edmunds and even yellow pages - restaurants have been showing yelp listings - so guess while the maps are showing more the actual rankings need more tweaking

    "Framed" Reviews

    You could do this with PPC if you host your own reviews and not just for searches of reviews - could do retargeted ads that have searched and visited your site already - think is good way to get them back and increase chance they pick you

    Subtract G+ from your marketing mix?

    Re: Don't Drop Google Plus Just Yet another good point - we know that your author tag and for that matter sharing used through G+ impacts the results put before your followers and can increase rank and traffic - until that feature is dropped it is a reason not to ignore G+
