What is Google's Local 3 Pack?
The birth of the Local 3-Pack can be dated back to a few years ago when Google decided to feature Google Map results alongside the top local search results, this was such a hit that they branded it the Local Pack.
Initially, the pack consisted of 7 local businesses that were relevant to the search query, however after a lot of testing, the number was cut back to 3, and this was the birth of the Local 3 Pack around 2015.
