The change from Google’s 7-pack, to a reduced 3-pack has had a major impact on local SEO. Many businesses struggled to get featured when there were seven spots available. Now getting into the top three can seem like rocket science. The good news is that this goal is not impossible.
However, it does take time, skills, and knowledge to get it done. Being seen by local consumers just as they’re searching for your type of product or service is the most targeted type of marketing known today. But getting there can be tricky unless you really know what you’re doing.
To help you get started down the right path, here are three helpful tips:
1. Get more citations
When it comes to ranking your local listing, one thing Google pays close attention to is how often a company is mentioned in other sources. In other words, it looks for “citations” to validate your business. A citation is a mention of your business name along with another piece of business information anywhere on the web – with OR without a link back to your website.
The additional information could be your phone number, website URL, or physical address – combined or individual. In order to count as a citation, the information must be an EXACT match to the information on your Google My Business listing.
Citations help prove to the search engines that you are a real company; therefore, the more of them you have from quality sources, the better your local listing rankings will be.
2. Add photos to your listings
It’s no secret that consumers love photos. The more, high quality images you have on Google local listing profile, the more appealing it will be to potential customers. This goes farther than Google; Yelp has even published advice on how to optimize your business listings, claiming that photos make a massive difference. It even goes as far as to say that according to research from Review Trackers, consumers spent 2.5 times more of their time on listings that featured photos.
3. Get as many reviews as you can
Reviews are an important part of getting noticed online these days. Consumers love writing reviews about businesses and they also like reading them. Google has taken note of this. It wants to promote the best local businesses and what better way to determine who those businesses are than through positive user reviews? If you want to really increase your rankings, encourage your customers to leave reviews whenever you can.
Getting your business to show up on Google’s 3-pack is a lot more challenging than it was with the 7-pack; obviously, because there are less spots. The tips above will help, but you will need to continually keep up with local search changes and ensure all of your company’s information is listed correctly and updated going forward. Not only that, but make sure you make smart use of categories and strategic keyword placement within your profile to give it strength.
In general it's very important to respond to ALL reviews no matter if they are positive or negative. People like to see an engaged business and if you make it a habit your response to a negative review has a lot more impact (in fact

In general it's very important to respond to ALL reviews no matter if they are positive or negative. People like to see an engaged business and if you make it a habit your response to a negative review has a lot more impact (in fact
71% of consumers say they’re more likely to use a business that has responded to their existing reviews.)
When it comes to negative reviews you need to be open, take the review in and check the facts. Don't be overly defensive and try to put yourself in the shoes of your customer when you do that. Give them an option to fix the issue (especially if it was your fault) - the best would be a full refund. If you really want to be generous offer them a gift card for your restaurant to have them come back to have a better experience. If you treat them in the right way they might even change their negative review!
And remember, it’s not enough to only respond to negative reviews. If a customer is leaving a review for a business, they have spent their time providing feedback. Business owners should follow suit, and show that they are committed to listening to what their audience has to say.

Google and most other search engines and directories put an emphasis on online reviews when they present search results to the user, which means it makes a big difference for your business to have a good number of reviews and a good average score (meaning 3+).
In addition to that here are some facts:
*) 95% of consumers search for local businesses online *) 91% of consumers read online reviews about local business *) most consumers look at 2+ review sites before making a decision *) 84% people trust online reviews as much as a personal recommendation *) 73% of consumers think that reviews older than 3 months aren’t relevant
Looking at this numbers/facts you can imagine that having a lack of online reviews can make a big difference for your business, and frankly can be the difference between make or brake a company.
We know that the difference between a company with an average score of four (4) or a company with an average score of five (5) can be up to 70% more business for the company with the average score of five (5), therefor it should be your main interest and focus to get a steady stream of quality reviews.

To protect your network/employees from phishing attempts, it's very important to have a few things in place:
1) a state of the art firewall (not just the modem of your provider), preferable a new generation firewall which is able to inspect incoming and outgoing traffic.
2) a antispam/antivirus solution for your mailserver. the best approach is to have this solution on the smtp level so that an infected/suspicious mail is already filtered before it hits the mailbox of the user.
3) regular training for your employees. even the best hard- and software solutions can not protect you 100%.
