Does anyone have an idea of the benefits of Google Analytics Premium?
-
We've been having a discussion about the GA Premium service here in our office, trying to weigh up the pro's and con's...
For the majority all it seems you gain access to is more support from google. We're trying to find out if that is the case or if you gain extra information, such as and insight into the search terms who must not be named.
Of course i'm talking about the (Not Set) data... This section of data is ever increasing, yes i know we can access certain terms through webmasters but it was so much easier (in the good ol' days) when all the data was under one roof!
Any thought opinions or even more questions would be greatly appreciated, i look forward to your responses.

Hi Anthony,
A full discussion of the pro's and con's of Google Analytics Premium requires more depth than I can share in this response, but I'm happy to answer your questions and answer additional questions or talk offline. Our company is a Google Analytics Premium Authorized Reseller and we have many clients using the platform. I answer your questions from that perspective.
"all it seems you gain access to is more support from google" - There are many more benefits to GA Premium than just the additional support, but you also shouldn't discount the additional support. It's quite extensive. You're basically getting access to a world class analytics team along with your product purchase. No other product I know of includes that level of support. This support is provided by the reseller if purchased through a reseller.
"I'm talking about the (Not Set) data" - I assume you're talking about (not provided). If you're seeing an increase in (not set) data that is quite fixable. However, Premium customers are treated no differently when it comes to (not provided). You'll see the same data no matter what tool you use. Just be thankful you're (not provided) data is growing. That's a good thing.
"Any thought opinions or even more questions" - That's too open ended for this response, but I'm happy to answer questions in detail offline or additional general questions in this thread. As far as the value of Premium, one question you could ask yourself is "How much more value could we generate if we had accurate data, access to all of our data, additional features to analyze that data, and resources to help us make sense of the data?" If the answer is a large enough value then you should seriously consider Premium.
Hopefully that helps and I'm happy to continue the discussion.

Google's Search Algorithm update to 'Local Snack Pack'
Hi there - I was wondering if anyone else has noticed a big shift in the Google Local 'snack pack' in the past 48 hours? We have noticed a big change in clients results - specifically today. Has anyone else noticed any changes or perhaps data on possible changes? I am aware of this update: https://www.seroundtable.com/big-google-search-algorithm-ranking-update-29953.html but perhaps there maybe another update since. Any input would be much appreciated! Phil.

Does Google ignores page title suffix?
Hi all, It's a common practice giving the "brand name" or "brand name & primary keyword" as suffix on EVERY page title. Well then it's just we are giving "primary keyword" across all pages and we expect "homepage" to rank better for that "primary keyword". Still Google ranks the pages accordingly? How Google handles it? The default suffix with primary keyword across all pages will be ignored or devalued by Google for ranking certain pages? Or by the ranking of website improves for "primary keyword" just because it has been added to all page titles?

Has there been a Google change in the last 24 hours?
We have come in this morning to find our site (paydayuk.co.uk) has suddenly disappeared from their SERPs, we have consistently been ranking in the top 5 for a wide range of search terms but now do not even appear for our brand name of Payday UK where we have been first for many months. Our site is still indexed and we have made no changes for a while as any SEO work is waiting on completion of a CMS system. Looking in https://groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/forum/#!categories/webmasters/crawling-indexing--ranking and there seem to be a lot of people having the same issues but as of yet no answers. I'd also like to add we don’t use black hat techniques so we really don’t understand why we have been penalised. Can anyone help please?

How do I get the expanded results in a Google search?
I notice for certain site (ex: mint.com) that when I search, the top result has a very detailed view with options to click to different subsections of the site. However for my site, even though we're consistently the top result for our branded terms, the result is still only a single line item. How do I adjust this?

What do you think of Google SERP encryption?
Really interesting post by Search Engine Land about this "issue" for tracking conversion, especially for long tail keyword research. I suppose this change will be also applied on all google search pages (.ca, .fr etc.). I Really don't think Webmaster tools is a serious compensation in Analytics for this.

Geolocation: Google only crawls from the US
A question was previously asked about geo-location and specifically if Google crawled from other countries. I could not locate the original question but wanted to share the below information. As of earlier this year Google only crawls from US IP addresses: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7paVYBgH0Hw
