Yeah I noticed this about 4-6 weeks ago. It's getting more data from Google than bing and it's all been kept quiet.

LITTLE part of me thinks they got a deal with google..

The funny thing is that Chat is not looking at GBP ranking for local service recommendations. I see more correlations with Bing places than with GBP.

All I can see is one tech company grabbing data from another. In 3rd world war, countries will fight for data.
