  5. @maslowbeer I'm not going to discuss the specifics in public. It was a minor concern before, and perhaps more so after the recent changes.
  6. @maslowbeer it's a concern when a non-food, non-Zagat-listable specialty business has a restaurant competitor dabbling in their specialty.
  7. @maslowbeer This is all very recent, so we'll need time to sort it out. Just can't say that "nothing has changed".
  8. @maslowbeer One concern is that nobody really knows their ranking factors. Another is that people may prefer businesses with the Zagat logo
  9. @maslowbeer Perhaps, if you believe that search rankings are no more important than window stickers.
  10. @maslowbeer Again, this could penalize businesses who do not serve food and favor competitors who do. It's a genuine concern for some I know
  11. @maslowbeer That Zagat icon could matter a lot more than initial perceptions may indicate, especially if it becomes a ranking factor.
