			<description><![CDATA[Chase, I think that Google will still use the data, I just think that it will rely on the quantity of that data a bit less. I suspect Google will start picking out a handful of trusted sources to work from and use those as core indicators, while using other sources as a cross reference, but perhaps nothing more.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thanks for putting this together Mike. I'm not seeing enough conversation happening about Local Citation's future when it comes to Google. This helps clarify a few things for me. I am curious about how Google thinks it's going to retrieve this type of data if they start devaluing these type of sources. I know Google talks a big game... but where are they really going to get good Local data outside of their own tools?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Mike, Thank you for putting this one together! I, and I am sure Mike and you too, have been asked many times ever since Google+ Local was launched about what has changed in terms of rankings, factors, etc. so this article should hopefully be a valuable resource as far as citations are concerned. Quality has always been over quantity for Google and the trend is to stay. Local, although very profitable, doesn't seem to be primary priority for Google, so that is why, I believe, quantity of citations is still a major factor. But this should be changing, hopefully.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Mike...the G+ Local listings we were looking at during the show seemed to indicate that G+ reviews are important as Google moves more and more towards using siganals they control (google reviews, + Biz Pages etc) in Local Search. IMO, all 3rd party signals are becoming less of a factor and this trend has only started it's going to get harder and harder to spoof and manipulate Local with signals outside of Google.]]></description>
