A dealer marketer reports observing anomalous Google organic search results for dealer-related keywords, where geographically distant dealerships (hundreds or thousands of miles away) are ranking higher than nearby competitors, despite location settings being enabled. While other participants acknowledge that Google frequently runs tests and experiences SERP anomalies, most confirm they haven't observed the same issue, leaving the root cause uncertain—whether it's a widespread Google test, a localized glitch, or something specific to the original poster's setup. The thread concludes with the consensus that without major website changes or clear algorithmic shifts, there's little dealers can do but monitor the situation and wait for Google to self-correct.
