    Google Pigeon is the code name given to Google latest local search algorithm update.The purpose of Pigeon is to provide preference to local search results. This is quite useful for user and the local business. On the day of release it received mixed response from the webmasters. Some complained about the ranking being decreased where as others reported improvement in the search rankings.[3] As per webmasters understandings this update has location and distance as key part of search strategy.
