Google has been spotted linking to competitive third-party services at the top of local search results pages.<\/p>\n

When people in Europe do a local search, Google now will lead them to find results on third party websites that are relevant. Third parties may include Yell, TripAdvisor, Thomson Local, and others.<\/p>\n

There has been no official statement from Google regarding this change, but it is believed to be a response to $ 2.7 billion fine imposed by the European court for antitrust violations.<\/p>\n
