Google tests local business maps changes

Most of us know by now the usual result of map next to the list of hotels with their reviews score.

That form was definitely helping to get more organic traffic to our local businesses, as it appeared above the top 10 organic results and not instead of them.

Today, while searching for one of clients keywords I’ve found a major change in the appearance of the map, which appeared above the organic and the map listings appeared blended within the top 10 search results instead of above them.

The thing is that when scrolling up and down the page, the map is hovering the Paid results on the right side and the organic results are even more emphasized than ever.

What do you think about the change? will it remain? how can google improve the local business results page?
