Help: Different search results Chrome App Android vs Chrome Address Bar

I've been doing a lot of SEO work lately, specifically trying to understand shifts in guides for a video game website. Typically, we rank high. Our on-page SEO is sound and similar to our competitors. Additionally, our content is of similar caliber as our competitors.

I've noticed that our content ranks differently based on searching for it using the Chrome App for Android versus using the Chrome address bar at the bottom of my Android phone. Is there a logic that contributes to this, either from Google's perspective or how we are arranging and creating content?

For example, on the Chrome App for Android, I can perform a more organic search and return a guide in question within the top 3 results. However, I cannot use the same search term in the Chrome address bar at the bottom of the screen and return the same results. In fact, I cannot find the article in question at all.

Further compounding confusion, a competitor's site ranks in the 0 and 1 position on page 1 for the same query in both locations.

Positioning for our site seems extremely volatile. This morning, I checked the results for the same query on both the App and Address bar. The App returned the article in question on page 1 second position. The address bar didn't return it at all.

20 minutes later, as I'm writing this post, I checked again using the same query in both areas. Now, the app is returning page one third position and the address bar is returning page 1 second position.

Any insight at all would be appreciated as I'm confounded at this point.

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
