Danny Sullivan of Google posted an update to the local search volatility from late last month through early this month – saying it was a bug that was resolved about two weeks ago. The fix Google rolled out then he said “seems to have stabilized things since.”
Initially Google said there was no update but asked for examples that the company can look into to see what was going on. It turned out that there indeed was no local search ranking update, but rather some sort of bug that caused the local search volatility in Google Maps and Google Search.
Danny said on Twitter “Just wanted to update. Thanks for the examples. They helped us find a bug that we got resolved about about two weeks ago, and that seems to have stabilized things since.”
Here is that tweet:

It is indeed true that the past week or so has been pretty quiet in terms of local ranking changes in Google Maps and Google Search.
I wonder what this bug was about but I guess this is an example of the SEO community helping Google find an issue with search and Google fixing something to make it better. Google does make mistakes, Google does investigate issues, and Google will fix bugs it finds.
