According to the current iteration of Google's SEO (search engine optimization) if a page has schema.org, it will be promoted higher than results without schema.org. Also, if the local settings are set on the searcher's device, local results will also be promoted above non-local results. Naturally, this is all mixed in with the other algorithms that Google uses, much of it based on the individual user, if a page is "mobile friendly" and so on. As with all Google search results pages, there is no telling after all this rigamarole whether any particular result will come up as no. 1, no. 10 or no. 1000. There are just too many variables. Plus, Google can do a tweak and it can all change tomorrow. -- James Weinheimer [log in to unmask] First Thus http://blog.jweinheimer.net First Thus Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/FirstThus Personal Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/james.weinheimer.35 Google+ https://plus.google.com/u/0/+JamesWeinheimer Cooperative Cataloging Rules http://sites.google.com/site/opencatalogingrules/ Cataloging Matters Podcasts http://blog.jweinheimer.net/cataloging-matters-podcasts The Library Herald http://libnews.jweinheimer.net/
