Google Places Is Better Than Search..Discuss

I am ranking top for a few keywords, mostly exact matches, but I get very little traffic. Adwords says I should be getting around 3000 impressions a month across them all, including global network. I Don’t get 10 a month…

Even on the keywords where I am pos 1-5 what happens RANDOMLY that 10 results for google places are displayed before the organic listings. So in my opinion, it is best to come up there.

This doesn’t mean I’ll get clicks. I don’t know the percentage of people who ignore the places listings…Anyone know??

I just can’t believe what google is telling me. Insights says 1 searched on, adwords tells me another and my actual campaigns tell me another thing again.

I am pretty dissillusioned by the search results…

Surely it can’t be hard for google to provide exact figures on results broken down by each month or even day and I mean EXACT…

For instance.

‘sussex wedding photography’

In 5 months on this keyword according to GA and I know that can’t report on everything it shows 89 visits. My Webserver stats shows 29 visits. These stats probably inlcude adwords clicks as well, not organic listings…

Google adwords including global network, should have been 1500 and I am top for that exact match…

What the hell can you trust. Surely this is a major problem with google. I want EXACT STATS…Whats the point of Statsitics if they are not marginally exact.
