Possum - A species of wild wombats evening activity in the US. Their diet mainly fruit and tree tops, tender leaves. This animal is very fast and usually works at night so people can see signs of their existence which usually rarely see them at night.


The naming of this update is to imply address Possum's Local businesses are now the same as the Possum, your business address still exists but no one can see you.


In addition, a law to protect wildlife in Australia has only allowed limited the maximum Possum 50m away from the nest, just as the business address this in your recent times, only when the user is very close to you.

Possum is the latest Google Local Search Algorithm originated on September 1, 2016. Ideology behind designing this Algorithm is bringing tremendous change in the local search community. This update is the largest local SEO update after Google Pigeon update, which was launched in 2014.

The impact of this algorithm:

1. Businesses & Companies that fall outside of the physical city limits saw a huge spike in ranking.
2. Google is now filtering based on address and affiliation.
3. The physical location of the searcher is more important than it was before.
4. Search results vary more based on slight variations of the keyword searched.
5. The local filter seems to be running more independently from the organic filter.
