Or... the NHS is wasting taxpayer's money by not looking at SEO as part of their overall marketing strategy. “It’s worth noting that the Mail’s misinformation is directly wasting taxpayer’s money by forcing the NHS to buy Google AdWords to put across the facts.”

Our results are mostly American. I guess Google reckons if it doesn't quite get it, just return a US result. Pity really as they were the best local search provider - now they all suck.

I wonder if Google is aware of this? I presume their internal search quality & research teams would.
